Who, in their right mind, would run a routing protocol on a
firewall?
I've often seen this comment about the Checkpoint GUI. But, I
think it is irrelevant. Firewalls are highly specialised devices that
should only be handled by experts. An expert should be comfortable
with the command line. Even with the latest versions of Windows, to
truely be an expert, you need to be comfortable with the command line.
Just because reviewers like to rave about particular features doesn't
mean that they are needed or wanted by expert users. Besides, I've
seen Checkpoint show up on Bugtraq before because of its GUI hiding
things. GUIs aren't always a blessing.
