Hello all,

 I am about to do an upgrade for a client of mine. They currently have
a 4.1 FireWall-1 and they want to upgrade to NG FP3. I run the
pre-upgrade verifier from CP and it reported that some objects need to
be changed as expected. It also reported that it would split to two
certain rules. Some of them contain resources in the "SERVICE" field so
that's why they need to be split (you can not have a regular service and
a resource in the same rule). The problem is that I was able to make
rules similar to the ones the tool reported they would be split. It also
reports that rules that have the value Long or Short in the TRACK field
will be changed to Log. It only reports the first rule from each policy
my clients has on his firewall. This looks like a bug to me. It makes me
wonder how much should I trust the report from the pre-upgrade verifier
tool. It is fine with me to report false positives, but how can I know
it does not miss problematic objects?
 My client also has some associates that use SecuRemote SP2 to connect
to the company's internal servers. Currently it is not easy to upgrade
the SecuRemote clients along with the firewall, so I would like to hear
comments from people who have used NG firewalls and 4.1 SecuRemote
clients, what's it like in production? Any reply would help. Thanks.
