Has anyone come across this?  I posted the same a few months ago, but had no
replies.  After a month of working with the supplier, with progressively more
breaking, and unable to find an answer the resolution was to blow all away;
reinstall OS & NG-FP2; and rebuild policy from scratch.

Catalogue of both, with events common to both incidents below.  Being an
operational unit there weren't many more changes bar policy-tweaks, though any
other info is available.

1st time
-Platform:
Nokia IP330, IPSO 3.5-FCS6, FW/VPN-1 NG-FP2
Management & fw modules on same box.

-Events:
Number of licence changes.  1st EVAL -> 2nd EVAL + VFM-25 -> 3rd EVAL + VFM-
25.  Reload, then...

-Symptoms:
All processes seem to come up, including fwm, last policy loads & traffic
passes, but nothing binds to tcp/18190 (CPMI).  Without that no management
client can connect, and fw functions, but no changes can be made, logs monitored
etc.

[...arduous investigation process ... box wipe & rebuild...]

2nd time
-Platform:
Nokia IP330, IPSO 3.5-FCS7, FW/VPN-1 NG-FP2
Same as above but with fresh IPSO.

-Events:
All works happily for 2 months.  Same (new) licence throughout, VIG-25.
Recreate this on CP usercenter & apply to fix sk11228.  1 week later reload
and...

-Symptoms:
Exactly same as before.  fwm loads, but does not bind to tcp/18190.  Notice
that 'fw kill fwm' complains about a wrong pid, so check $FWDIR/tmp and
all 'x.pid' files have the time of the last cpstart, except fwm.pid, with the
date of the last cpstart prior to the new licence being applied.  Deleting this
& 'cpstop;cpstart' has no effect.

Given that Checkpoint have created a product, the mangement of which they
_ONLY_ support through CPMI (gone the days of text editors?) this is a pretty
important port.  Any help would be v.v.greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Ian
