Re: CheckPoint remote access

["PLANZ" <planz235 () hotmail com>]

Hi,

Just few days ago I faced the same problem, failing login to Checkpoint
Management Server; Through SSH has also failed.  I did the following:

I  login to the CP Management Server locally. Surprised to see the C:\ drive
has 0 MB left.  Fortunately I have a D:\ drive with ample of space.  I did a
logswitch in the command prompt. I couldn't do due to the storage problems.
Then I moved some of the old logs inside the %FW1/4.1/log folder to D:\
drive. Then did a logswitch, now a new log file opens. Again I moved the
currently archived log file to D:\ drive, now I can access CP remotely as
usual.

Regards,
Planz
