[FW1] Still problems with Unknown Established TCP Packets



Hello All
 
I have a distributed HA configuration of 1 mgmnt host and 2 fw hosts of
FW-1 4.1 SP3. I have one rule and 2 machines for what the firewall just
drops connections saing "Unknown established TCP packet". I tried the
phoneboy solve by adding #define ALLOW_NON_SYN_RULEBASE_MATCH
as the first line to $FWDIR/lib/fwui_head.def on both, the management and
fw machines.  Then bounced the fw on both and eaven reinstalled the policy.
I still get the same log entries.
The events go:
1. Machine A requesting a SSH connection sends SYN
2. The firewall logs an ACCEPT according to the rulebase rule n
3. The ssh server (B) sends SYN/ACK to A
4. A tries to send FIN packet to B but it will be dropped.
5. The fw logs the unknown established packet and drops
6. A tries and keeps trying....
 
can anyone explain to me why is it so ? And how could I fix it ?
