[FW1] dr watson apperaring when loading rules from gui client

["Jesus Calvo Hernandez" <jesus.calvo@FW1-NOSPAMsema.es>]

Hi all

>From one day ago, and suddenly, my firewall manager is unable to load rules. I use the gui client, connect to management server, load policies fine, objects fine, but when it gets to rules loading, it crashes after several seconds, showing a message: server is disconnected adn the Dr. Watson appears and fwpolicy process goes to hell.

I have also tried to use the gui client not only from my workstation but on the management station itself and on the firewall gateways, with the same result. 

Testing with command line my gateway loads the policy perfectly (fw load  *.w  target) and also it is working, so the main functionality (firewalling) keeps working, but the problem is that I cannot modify my rulebase.

Anyone has suffered this problem?

I´m running fw1 vpn des version 4.0, sp5 on nt machines, both management console and firewall module.

Any help would be much appreciated, as I´ve been fighting all the day with no result.

Regards

Jesus Calvo

Hi all

 

From one day ago, and suddenly, my firewall manager is unable to load rules. I use the gui client, connect to management server, load policies fine, objects fine, but when it gets to rules loading, it crashes after several seconds, showing a message: server is disconnected adn the Dr. Watson appears and fwpolicy process goes to hell.

 

I have also tried to use the gui client not only from my workstation but on the management station itself and on the firewall gateways, with the same result.

 

Testing with command line my gateway loads the policy perfectly (fw load  *.w  target) and also it is working, so the main functionality (firewalling) keeps working, but the problem is that I cannot modify my rulebase.

 

Anyone has suffered this problem?
