Dear all,

I am having problems with a server's SQL*net connections to a database
timing out after the 3600 second TCP_Timeout variable in FW-1... Ideally, I
need to increase the value of the timeout for TCP 1522 from 3600 seconds to
90000 seconds (25 hours).

There are 3 firewall modules that need to be covered by this change, all of
them Nokia IP650s running FW-1 v4.1sp2. They are managed from a Provider-1
management server.

I have tried adding the following to the local $FWDIR/lib/init.def on the
firewall hosts themselves:

ADD_TCP_TIMEOUT(1522,3600*25),

as per the instructions Phoneboy provides but it doesn't work, after a
restart of the firewalls 'fw tab -u -t connections' still shows connections
to 1522 as having a timeout of 3600.

The only things I can see that could be wrong are that either init.def needs
to be modified on the Provider-1 server or the maximum TCPtimeout is 65535
seconds (or perhaps both?)... Has anyone come across this before?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam.
