I would suggest backing up your present C:\winnt\fw1\NG\conf\local.scv (in
case the local.scv get corrupted!) and then
insert your new local.scv file.  Then you have to install the policy.  If
you get an error that the local.scv is corrupt,
you can fall back on the original file.

I am not using a Nokia, but two SecurePlatforms (clustered) and two Win 2000
management stations.  I only update my
local.scv file on my primary management station and install the policy.  The
new local.scv is pushed automatically to
my secondary management station. I have never had any problems "syncing" the
local.scv on other servers.

I would try a test with a SCV you know a SecureClient will fail and see if
it works.  The only problem I have had (R55 HFA03) is erratic logging for
SCV failures (sometimes it logs an alert, other times nothing is logged).

I have found that you must be very careful with the format of local.scv, it
is easy to corrupt the file.  I always
make a backup of the running local.scv file before editing, just in case.

Thanks for that but may I ask, $FWDIR/conf on my management station
(c:\winnt\fw1\NG\conf) already has a local.scv file that is 6kb, I presume
this is the default file that is created upon installation, Do I replace
this file completely with the Mcaffee one (which incidentally is a lot
smaller) or do I have to integrate the code from macfee into the already
present file. ??

Secondly, I searched my primary Nokia IP350 for local.scv and it produced
the 4 locations below, which one of these does it push out to ?? or will it
push to all 4

# find / -name local.scv

/var/opt/CPfw1-50-03/conf/local.scv
/var/opt/CPfw1-50-03/state/local/PS/local.scv
/var/opt/CPfw1-50-03/state/wallington/PS/local.scv
/opt/CPfw1-50-03/policy/local.scv

Thanks
Gary

Some answers:

>2) Due to my Nokia HA solution (2 IP350's and a management box), where
>exactly do i put the configured local.scv file ?, does it go on both
Nokias?
>if so in which location ?, or does it reside only on the management
>box?

Put it in the $FWDIR/conf on the management module
Upon the installation of the Desktop Policy it gets pushed to the FW
modules..

>3) What do i need to do in Smart Dashboard, the only thing i can find

You need the policy server.

>4) one more question, if i enable SCV in the dashboard and install the

?.

What isn't there can't be checked....;-)

Hope this helps,
