RE: unable to view FW-1 rules via gui

["Jahangir, Shahryar (Exchange)" <sj () bear com>]

I have seen this happen numerous times .... The GUI seems to "lose sight" of
the rules. One way of "seeing" them again Is to load the policy on the
firewall form the command line i.e. FW load xx  xx .

The reconnect the GUI and you will find the rules .... MAGIC !!!

                Subject:        unable to view FW-1 rules via gui

                I had an X-windows session on my pc and while running the
fwpolicy gui,
                my pc froze. I had to reboot and I lost my session. I am
running FW-1
                3.0b on Solaris 2.5.1. When I restarted the fwpolicy gui
none of my
                policies were visible from the gui. When I check the
directory
                $FWDIR/conf, they are all there. I just access them via the
gui.

                Need an explanation as to why/what happened and help to
recover.

                Thanks,
                OW
