Ouch. In the long term, complaining through your management channels
that the firewall changes are having a deleterious effect on your
ability to do your job, and basically costing the company money is the
most likely way to get a favourable resolution to this.
In the meantime you can receive updates via CTM -- essentially a
serise of patches to the system sources and so forth sent to you by
e-mail. See:
