Hi Sebastian,

if im right you are not logged in as expert, then you have only the default admin menu.
If so try the command expert in the menu and use the expert password you choose at install time.
If you get the expert prompt you have nearly every unix/linux command and then you can also browse the filesystem.

commands:
cd => same as in windows (change directory)
ls => equivalent to dir

i tried executing ls -all command but i can see 2 hidden directories and some bash files. but i cannot see the fwdir.

Use the command pwd to see the name of the current dir

On Solaris and Linux computers, the default location of the $FWDIR directory
is /opt/CPfw1-50, which can be accessed within /etc/fw.

if this the case with ur setup then go to /etc/fw by writing the command

cd /etc/fw

and then to the fwdir directory.....

hi mate thanks a lot for ur help. i went in to the cd /etc/fw directory and did a dir but couldn;t find the fwdir directory.i saw many conf files out there.

if fwdir directory is not created should i create it.

will there be a problem if the fwdir is not created on it;s own.
thanks a lot once again

Hi my friend,

What are you trying to achieve? You need to learn how to navigate the
Checkpoint directory? If so,

cd $FWDIR/conf will take you to the conf directory
cd $CPDIR will take you to the cpshrd directory
cd $FWDIr/lib will take you to the *.def directory
cd $FWDIR/log will take you to the log directory
cd $FWDIR/boot/modules will take you to the directory that you will need
to create the fwkern.conf file, if necessary,

[sebastan_bach]

hi mate thanks a lot for the rescue.

mate can u tell me where have they posted this information as the contents of files in which directories they are.

hi mate i checked the directory u mentioned and fwkern.conf was not present there.

can u pls tell me when we need to create that file and for what purpose.

thanks once again.

waiting for ur reply mate.

Hi mate,

I am sure most of the things I mentioned are in the documentation. However,
the fwkern.conf file is created/added/appended when you need to modify
things as recommended by checkpoint such as allowing PPTP through
the firewall with "hide" NAT, stuffs like that.

debug files are normally located in the $FWDIR/log under the *.elg file.

objects.C and 5_0.C files are normally located in the $FWDIR/conf directory.
you need this file when creating html rule for your security policy or object
dumper or object filler.

Beyond that, I don't know what else to say because I am used to checkpoint,
working with it for past 7+ years now so I guess I just know where things
are by now. If I do not, I just search the cpug forum. Either that or
I look it up in Checkpoint Secureknowledge base

hi mate thanks a lot for ur help . so in my case where the file is not created on it;s own i will have to create the file right.

can u help with the syntax for writing the parameters in the conf file.

thanks a lot once again.

I don't to make marketing, but there is a also a short thread located here.

If you tell us which parameters you will add, we can check if they make sense and if the syntax is ok.

hi thanks for the link,

hello,

just use vi $FWDIR/boot/modules/fwkern.conf and add the parameter you want
if you dont know how to use vi just do a :
echo "myparameter=myvalue" >> $FWDIR/boot/modules/fwkern.conf
followed by cat $FWDIR/boot/modules/fwkern.conf to verify it's OK
