Greetings,

The cluster patches from Sun do cause problems because the OS's behavior
changes between patches.  One would have to assume that this is how fixes
are implemented.  The problem is when another vendor relies upon a certain
behavior, and it is changed, then vendor b (in this case Check Point) it's
difficult to either supply a fix to everyone that needs it or get vendor a
to re-release a patch.

I would have to say that once installation has been completed then this
should not affect the firewall in any way.  The latest and greatest
features/releases may not be available to you since they're not supported on
an older platform, but you probably don't care about this.

I can not tell you solaris 8 but I can tell you my experience with solaris
9 and the
latest cluster patch.  After installing the latest cluster patches on my
solaris 9
box, I can NOT install P-1 R55 on it. To fix the problem, I had to
re-install
solaris 9 and apply the cluster patch that I downloaded ten months
ago.  That
fixed my problem.  My guess is that if you install the latest cluster
patch, it will
break your Checkpoint apps, I can almost see it coming.

aside from your problem, you have a classic situation.  Running checkpoint
on a general purpose OS.  You're guaranted to have finger pointing between
vendors.  But that's my 2c.

installing the last recommended cluster of patches?? Does it affect
somehow
the firewall??
