SUMMARY: checkpoint firewall

[Vic Engle <sunmanager@nc.rr.com>]

Thanks for the great replies from Chris Lyttle, Jason Dixon, Jochen 
Schmidt, Sagi Bashari and Kelly McDonald.

Chris Lyttle sent a CP linux Install document that was very helpful. The 
CP-NG firewall is not supported on 7.3 prior to FP3. Furthermore, CP-NG 
requires specific kernels which are hard to find months after they were 
initially released. Fortunately CP archives the supported kernels on 
their site because they do not seem to be available on the Redhat site.

If anyone would a copy of the document Chris shared with me just email me.

The original question to the list follows.

Thanks,
Vic
