Hi Alan,
  It really depends but I would have to say "yes" that it would affect other 
active
  VPN tunnels.  
   
  Gui-dbedits or dbedit is an utility that you use to modify checkpoint 
database 
  parameters.  As far a the user.def syntax is concerns, let say if my local 
network
  has 192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24.  Instead of letting
  CP suppernet it to 192.168.0.0/23, I can tell CP NOT to by modify the 
user.def file to
  this:
   
  // User defined INSPECT code
//
  max_subnet_for_range = {
<192.168.0.0, 192.168.0.255; 255.255.255.0>,
<192.168.1.0, 192.168.1.255; 255.255.255.0>,
<192.168.2.0, 192.168.2.255; 255.255.255.0>
};
   
  As always, please make a backup of your original user.def file prior to making
  any changes to it
   
  HTH.

  Thanks cicso4ng,

Would the mods mentioned in part 1 of the "keep in mind" list affect 
other VPN tunnels we have active?

Also, forgive my ignorance, what is "gui-bdedit"? and what is the 
sytax for adding the networks to $FWDIR/lib/user.def?

Thanks,

Alan
