I think the companion self-extractor / creator is called SecureClient
Packaging Tool and is downloadable from www.checkpoint.com.  I have used it
to include updated userc.c files and it worked nicely for me.  I never made
any changes to the default policy though, so I am not much help there.

There are two policies: the one while connected and the "default policy." 
The default policy is in effect when not connected. The default policy uses 
the "all users@any" group. You decide what happens in the default policy as 
well as the connected policy.

Yes. There is an SK article on how to do this. You also can use a custom 
install and modify PRODUCT.INI so the line that has

acceptall

is changed to

blockinbound

I don't remember exactly where it is but it's passed as a parameter to one 
of the batch files listed in PRODUCT.INI.

When you gp to the SecureClient download page, get the "Adminstrator" file. 
It unzips so you can see and manipulate any of the files as needed. After I 
modify PRODUCT.INI and userc.C, I use WinZip to zip it up and then use the 
companion self-extractor creator to make it a single .EXE install file. 
userc.C is modified to preset the gateway IP address, etc., so it's easier 
to configure when installed.
