RE: [FW1] ftp problems




I recently upgraded to Checkpoint 2000 SP2 (on Solaris 2.6), and have had
the same problem.  I had a user attempting to upload a file to the compaq
ftp server and troubleshot this for a couple of days.  When this issue was
first brought to my attention, the user was able to connect and login, but
would get immediately disconnected.  Piling through the Checkpoint site,
Phoneboy, and listserver posts, I made the following changes -

1)  edited the $FWDIR/lib/base.def to allow FTP headers without "\r\n" by
commenting the #define FTP_ENFORCE_NL line out (changing it to //#define
FTP_ENFORCE_NL).

2)  edited the $FWDIR/lib/base.def and changed the following line -
     Original Value - #define FTPPORT(match) (call KFUNC_FTPPORT
<0x1|(match)>)
     New Value - #define FTPPORT(match) (call KFUNC_FTPPORT <(match)>)
     Both lines were already in thie base.def file, I just commented out the
Original Value and uncommented the New Value.

Both changes were done on the Management Console (i'm in a distributed
configuration), a fwstop;fwstart issued, and the policy recompiled and
pushed to the firewall.  This made it so that we could successfully connect
to the compaq ftp server.  I also was able to successfully get files (I have
not tested FTP puts).  I found both of these solutions on the Checkpoint
SecureKnowledge site (if you're lucky enough to have an active Checkpoint
support contract AND a valid login ID)....

Hope this help !!
