I had a problem like this a long time ago in a version of 4.1. the policies were there in the directory but were not listed in the gui. I believe the following command reloaded all policies in the directory into the "listing."
fwm -g *W I believe this loads all files ending in a W into the rulebases.fws file which is used by the gui to list the various policies. It was a long time ago, so you may want to verify that this still works and that I remember correctly ;~}} Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fire Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 11:34 PM Subject: [FW-1] Problems merging back my_rule.W into rulebases_5_0.fws NG FP2 > Hi all, > > I have a problem merging a rule from my backups into > my NG FP2 management server. > > My rulebases are correct and all objects correspond > properly to the firewall policy. > > I ran: > > C:\WINNT\FW1\NG\conf> fwm -g my_rule.W > > and the output from it was that it completed > successfully. > > However, when I opened the Policy Editor and clicked > on File > Open to open my_rule, I could not see > my_rule in the Open Policy Package window. > > I checked the rulebases.fws file and saw that > my_rule.W did actually merge into rulebases.fws; > however, it did not merge into rulebases_5_0.fws. > > Does this mean that the fwm -g command does not work > for NG FP2?
