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. -GS -----Original Message----- From: Mailing list for discussion of Firewall-1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cisco4ng Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 8:51 AM To: FW-1-MAILINGLIST@AMADEUS.US.CHECKPOINT.COM 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? cisco4ng --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo!
