Hi Peter This is a known issue on the NGX platform. It seems that 1.0 is equivalent to 0.00 on the newer builds of SPLAT.
I mentioned this to the SPLAT product manager at Check Point a few months ago. He looked into it and mentioned that it is something that they will be fixing in a later version, but that it is not a high priority at the moment. Most of the systems I install show me the same load average, so I have re-written our monitoring software to interpret 1.0 as normal. I hope this helps Matthew Odendaal Information Security Architects (Pty) Ltd Tel: +27 11 326 2242 Fax: +27 11 326 2285 Mobile: +27 83 260 3339 [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail and/or attachments are subject to the ISA's e-mail legal and confidentiality notice which appears on the ISA web site at http://www.isa.co.za/e-mail-notice.html.

I think a load average > from 1.0 all over the time is courious, isn't it? Sometimes the load is > over 1.0. Look for "insmod" processes hanging around. Sometimes some of the firewall kernel modules seem to not properly finish insertion into the linux kernel. I've seen this on R60 and R61. This doesn't affect functionality but adds a virtual load of 1.0 for each "insmod" to the system.
