Hi,
I'm not sure on how to debug the firewall but here are the steps that I
would take and have worked several times:
* Ensure that DNS resolves FWb on FWb and the External Address of the
management module to the object names
* Stop the management station
* Stop the FW module on FWb
* do 'fw putkey <ext. IP of FWb>' on the management station (then
enter the secret key)
* on FWb, do 'fw putkey <int IP of mgmt> <ext IP of management>'
* Start management module
* Start FWb module
* In the 'masters' file on FWb, make sure you have the ext. IP address
(or host name) of the management module and the internal address of the
management module
I hope this is of some use.
regards,
simon

Subject: [FW1] 4.1-SP2 Management Server problem
Hi all,
I am currently facing a problem with a new installation.
In fact I have a Management Server sitting behind a Firewall,
let's call them MGMT and FWa, this management server serves also
another Firewall, let's call him FWb.
Between MGMT and FWa everything works fine, Fwb can fetch it's
security policy from MGMT, but MGMT fails to push the security
policy to FWb. I get the message : Authentication failed for
command load, I am almost 100% sure this is a key issue, because
when I disable the authentication, by modifying the control.map,
everything works fine.
I have done, re-done and re-done again the putkeys on both MGMT
and FWb ... but it still fails, I have read quite some posting from
the CheckPoint support site, from this mailing list archives and also
from the Phoneboy site ... but still problems. I have re-installed
the Firewall from scratch, removed the keys on both systems by
editing the authkeys.C files, I have removed the client from the
clients file of MGMT and removed the management server from the masters
file on FWb
Last thing that might be important MGMT is NATted, statically of course.
Three questions :
1. is there a way to debug this ? I know you can fw fetch -d, but is
there a way to do it the other way in debug mode ?
2. just to be sure, what is the exact syntax of the fw putkey command to
use on both systems ? I found several different ones
3. is there a place on either MGMT or FWb where I could look for a
hint ? an error ?
Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien à vous - Kind regards
