Re: Checkpoint Firewall Configuration

Hi,
I guess that there are at least two ways to do that:

- use the database revision control from the GUI. Bear in mind that
this need to be maintained. Then you can simply work out main
difference between one revision
 and another

- use a script or anyway a batch procedure to check all the relevant
files under $FWDIR/conf just to start. Here are stored all the
critical files starting from global
 objects, users databases ad firewall policies. I'm quite sure there
are some tools out in the wild that can help you out on this.

Take into account that, depending on the way you deployed the firewall
architecture(stand alone or distributed), you might need to make same
checks on both management and firewall node side

Cheers,
Andrea
