I can confirm, but I can't tell you which .def files are changed, I
think this may vary depending on whether or not the hfa contains changes
to that particular .def file. Yes CP does leave you hanging here, here
is a clip from a KB solution, note the word "may".
Any .def file modification may not survive HFA updates, Hotfix
installations, or version upgrades.

Subject: [FW-1] Checkpoint has done it again. What a suprise
According to Checkpoint, when upgrading from let say HFA_17 to HFA_18 in
NG
AI R55: "ALL changes made to the INSPECT files (aka, *.def files)
will be overwritten"
Well, that is NOT entirely true. I ran a few tests on my provider-1
systems
and I made a few changes in the user.def file and also some changes in
the base.def
file. After upgrading from HFA_17 to HFA_18, changes in the base.def
file was
overwritten by the new HFA; however changes made to the user.def file
remains the
the same. I've tested this several times with the same result.
Wondering if anyone in this group can confirm? If this is true, it is
telling me that
Checkpoint just sucks. How can they pull some stupid stunt like that?
