They are using CheckPoint SecureClient NG with Application Intelligence, R56, Build 701 client on Mac OS X. They then fire off the legacy client (OS 9) which brings up Mac OS 9 in Classic Mode.

They used to then just connect to the Database, but now it appears that this traffic isn't going through SecureClient in OS X (I've been monitoring the logs).

I did, however, check to see if they ran the Apple Security Update 2005-007 (release August 17th) but they didn't. They are still back on the Apple Security Release 2005-004 (April 20). Since they need to test any system updates up and down with the vendor before they roll any update out to the masses.

I appreciate your help!

Just to clarify - are they using an older version of the sybase client,
or an older version of secureclient, in Classic?

If it's the former, would it be possible for them to just have two
copies of the OS X client running?

Last OS X security update was August 17th, and it contained a lot of
different fixes - none of them looks like an obvious culprit, but it
might be the problem.

Subject: [FW-1] SecureClient for Mac - problems

Our users use CheckPoint SecureClient (NG AI R56, Build 701)
using Mac OS X (10.3.9) Panther to connect to a Sybase
Database using a proprietary client.  They, up until
Saturday, were also able to launch a different (older
version) of the client running in Macintosh OS 9 in Classic
Mode and connect to a separate Sybase Database.  Like I said,
they used to.  We've made no changes to the VPN-1 system, so
we're kind of at a loss as to why.

The only thing we've found is that under Classic Mode, they
are unable to resolve the host name from DNS, but running OS
9 in Classic Mode uses the same network connection and
settings as OS X.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
