Hello, all. We are building support for iptables into the ISCS network security management platform (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) for its first release. However, it is designed to be a multi-vendor system. We have been asked to incorporate Check Point so that the same console can be used to administer iptables based systems and Check Point systems. If anyone is knowledgeable in how one communicates rules to a Check Point device and the syntax and capabilities of those rules, would you kindly contact me directly off list. We would love to see the door open for iptables based systems in historically Check Point shops but we need a joint management platform to do so. Thanks - John -- John A.
