| 1916.1 | Startup script? | OSL09::BJORNMY | Open but Secure | Tue Apr 15 1997 03:55 | 7 |
| At some time there was an error in one of the startup scripts that
failed if the red interface was not configured. (This was to bring the
red interface down until booting was completed).
Do you get any errors during boot?

| 1916.2 | Could be broken! | GALVIA::SMITH | | Tue Apr 15 1997 05:14 | 4 |
| Its possible that the eval kit is broken - I'll have it checked out
asap.

Me, too! Same problem!!
DU4.0A + AVFW V2.1 eval (expires on 1-MAY-1997).
Oh, I should have asked here sooner....
I was struggling with it since last week.

Hello all,
The problem is solved, in fact you need to replace the netscape
executable used by the firewall with an older version (by default it
uses V3.0). I replaced :
/usr/opt/DFW210/usr/dfws/bin/netscape
by a V2.0 executable and all seems to work fine now
Rgds,
Guy
PS : solution was found via the AltaVista Firewall Forum

| 1916.6 | problem with updating version of Netscape | GALVIA::KEATING | | Wed Apr 16 1997 14:24 | 15 |
|
We recently upgraded the version of Netscape shipped
with the V2.1 eval kits, from V2.1 to V3.
This upgrade caused the image map problems you are seeing.
This problem is now fixed and new eval kits are in the process
of been added to the download area.
I will reply to this note as soon as I receive confirmation that
the eval kits have been updated.
In the mean time replace the version of netscape with an
earlier version as described in the previoius note.

| Just as a matter of interest, how much testing did the new version of Netscape
get?

| 1916.8 | Plenty! | GALVIA::SMITH | | Thu Apr 17 1997 05:26 | 18 |
| I understand that Netscape does a fair amount of testing through their
early release and beta test programs. What's your point? Just to
reinforce what Sarah said in .6, the fact is that there was a bug in
Netscape V2 that necessitated a mod to the imagemap cgi we shipped
with the AFWU V2.1. Netscape V3 fixes the problem and therefore
required us to rollback the imagemap fix in latest eval kits.
As a matter of interest however Netscape does not appear to have
addressed the memory leak problems that we experienced in Netscape V2
so you will continue to be inconvenienced by this with Netscape V3.
Therefore we will continue to recommend that you run Netscape on your
firewalls only when "managing" the installation and shut it down
otherwise. Of course, now that remote management is available, it will
not be necessary to login at the console anymore, so you could place
the burden of running Netscape on another host, and avoid this causing
problems with system resource usage on your firewall.
