I would like to announce the immediate availability of the FireWall-1
Wizards Mailing List.
This list is designed to be a discussion forum for FireWall-1 and related
products. Unlike the FireWall-1 Mailing List, this list will be moderated.
This means all emails to the list are approved by a moderator before being
sent out. The approval guidelines are designed to promote useful discussion
and eliminate redundant information. Because moderating a list can be a
full-time job, there will be multiple moderators to help share the load.
However, I, PhoneBoy, am in charge and always have the final say. :-)
The list of topics this list will cover includes:
* Use and troubleshooting of Check Point FireWall-1/VPN-1, the VPN-1
Appliance (Nokia IPxxx), and SecuRemote/Secure Client.
* Use and troubleshooting of third-party HA solutions for FireWall-1. This
includes, but is not necessarily limited to StoneBeat, Rainfinity, Check
Point's HA module (when it is finally released) and the HA features present
in the IPSO Operating System (i.e. on Nokia IPxxx and VPN-1 Appliance
platforms).
* Security Issues, though the focus of the conversation should be "how to
implement it in FireWall-1."
* Announcements about PhoneBoy's FireWall-1 FAQs and similar resources.
Things that will not get past the moderators include, but are not limited
to:
* Anything already covered in the FAQs. PhoneBoy's FireWall-1 FAQs will be
the baseline this will be judged against, though it may eventually include
other sources. Basically, do your homework before posting your questions.
* OS Wars (i.e. which OS is better). The standard answer is "use what you
know best."
* Rants about Check Point Support or your Reseller.
* Flames or flamebait.
Disclaimers:
* The moderators are human and will make mistakes from time to time. Deal
with it. :-)
* This list is not meant to replace a support contract with Check Point,
Nokia, or an authorized reseller.
* This list does not represent the official opinion of Check Point Software
Technologies, Ltd., Nokia Internet Communications, or anyone else for that
matter.
* Use the information contained herein at your own risk.
* This is a public mailing list. Don't expect any sort of privacy.
* All submissions to this list, whether or not they are approved, may be
re-used by me without your permission.
* We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
How to join or leave the mailing list:
* To join the Realtime List (i.e. messages are sent as they are approved by
moderators), send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
