[FW1] fw upgrade problem from 3.0b to 4.0

[Rajesh <rajesh@FW1-NOSPAMilanet.slnsw.gov.au>]

Hi,

I upgraded the firewall module from ver 3.0b to 4.0 (on sparc machine running 
solaris 2.6). The management console is on a different machine (ver 4.0 running 
on sun sparc). After I upgraded I managed to install the policy from management 
console once. When I tried to install the policy later it didn't work. I get the 
following error message:

TODAY:
Compiled OK.

Installing Security Policy /var/opt/CKPfw/conf/TODAY.pf on all.all@foonix
Authentication for command load failed
Failed to Install Security Policy on foonix: Unauthorized action

I tried to do 'putkeys' and followed all the instructions given on phoneboy web 
site. It didn't work at all. 

I tried 'as a last resort' solution given on phoneboy. I disabled putkey 
authentication entirely by editing control.map file on both firewall module and 
management console. I used 'none' as the authentication system. It worked fine. 

I can't really figure out why it works if I don't use any authentication system 
and it doesn't work if I use authentication system.

Anyone had a similar problem. I need to solve this problem as soon as possible. 
I don't want to disable the authentication system. 

Thanks,
Rajesh.
