Dear all,
as I found there are some inconsistencies in public literature regarding
to Firewall-1 installations. Perhaps somebody can explain what's right :-)
In "CCSA Next Generation Check Point Certified Security Administrator
Study Guide" (ISBN 0-07-219420-0 from McGraw-Hillx) he says "In Solaris,
IP forwarding is enabled by default and should be disabled." As well the
processing of source routed packets should be disabled.
But in Sybex "CCSE NG Check Point Certified Security Expert Study Guide"
the authors writes "....be sure the machines properly route packets
between each network interface. Be sure that IP routing/forwarding is
anabled in your OS and the routing tables are correct."
What's the truth ? I am a little bit irretated :-(
Thx
Olaf
