I don't run cp fw1 on a redhat system :) SuSE7
You are right, the linux implemention isn't worth to run out of the box
yet.....I had to hack almost all cp start-scripts to let it run
smoothly.(smp detection, rc.d stuff, fw1boot, fw1start, fw1stop
And I don't like these unattended rpm installs.....I would like to see what
happens while upgrading/installing cp fw1.
(all the time, when a new service pack arrives, I have to reengineer these
post/pre scripts in the rpm package.....that really su**)
Final statement: If someone wants to run cp fw1 on a linux system, he
should be very familiar with the os....
regards,
mike
