Chkp tech, I usally agree with you 99% of the time; however, I have to disagree with you on this issue. I've a live NGx R60A standalone log server) and I can create multiple read/write and read accounts on this stand alone log server. The command to do that is "fwm -a xxx" where xxx is the username that I want to create. During the "fwm -a xxx" process, I can assign read/write or read permission for xxx user account. After creating the account, I can log into SmartView Tracker with xxx user account. If I want to delete xxx user account, I can use "cpconfig" to delete that account. To say that there can be ONLY 1 administrator account created at the command line is NOT accurate. Having said that, I am not sure if Checkpoint supports of having more than 1 Administrator. However, going back to my original question, I honestly think it is possible to authenticate users logging into the standalone log server via Smartview Tracker with RSA Securid because the standalone log server is an independent entity from everything else so that there is NO SmartDashboard to create Adminstrator accounts and assigned SecurID authentication Credentials. Thank you everyone for the replies. cisco4ng chkp tech <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From what I understand, the standalone implementation of a CLM (stand alone log server) can only have one login for that server. I haven't personally tested this, but I have heard issues regarding this and it makes sense. Here's what I've heard.... Since a CLM is managed by local users as opposed to authenticating to an MLM, it can only have one administrator account (created at the command line). Then since you can only login to the machine read-only with the GUI, it isn't possible to create another admin/user. >From what I understand, this will be resolved in R61, but who knows if that's the case. Again, I've never tried this in person so I can't say for 100% certain. YMMV.
