Check your firewall policy properties, specifically Security Policy/TCP
Session Timeout.  Default is 3600 seconds.

>From docs:
"The time period after which a TCP session will be considered to have timed
out." (from its state table)

"Firewall-1 inspects each and every TCP packet against the Security Policy.
The first packet of each session is checked against the Rule Base.  If the
first packet is accepted, Firewall-1 adds the session to an internal table
of open sessions.  Subsequent packets of an established TCP session are
checked against the table rather than against the Rule Base."

"If a TCP session times out, then the session is removed from Firewall-1's
state table.  If a packet later arrives for that session, Firewall-1 checks
that packet." (against the Rule Base)

I seem to be having a problem with session timeouts.  Does FireWall-1
have a session timeout setting that will disconnect active sessions
after a specified time?  If so, how would I go about changing that on
FireWall-1 4.1 on Solaris 2.6?

Thanks,
