All, Our organization just put online two of our 6 Sidewinder G2's this week. Forced to G2 since SCC got rid of Gauntlet.....(still have Gauntlet 6.0 Solaris...
... Many would say this is the price of progress, or that you could always go back to FWTK. Gauntlet 6.0 on Solaris had serious performance problems, and...

For a real laugh try smartreporter. It reports all your users web browsing habits, by IP address that is. Real useful for us DHCP users. On the positive side,...

To follow up on my own post. As usual, I open my mouth and insert my foot. After I emailed my post about smartreporter (but before it hit the mailing list) I...
All, We're wanting something that will actively watch allows/denys on FILTER RULES (we can do this with proxies) or ports/protocols that have no rule at all....

Announced today, Secure Computing will be dropping the "squid" proxy from Sidewinder G2 as of September 30, 2006 (13 months from now). Specifically "The next...
Support is closed for the night, so I figured I'd try asking here. I'm installing a number of identical Sidewinder G2 firewalls, all 2150C appliances, all...

I have never seen this on a Sidewinder, but have on other unix boxes I have built. If the "appliance" is a Dell machine be aware that they change hardware...
I'm new to sidewinder. I tried backing up the appliance via the management console and the only options are floppy and local. I assume that local means local...
A month or two back I heard that SC were planning to drop squid. For myself, I'd rather they wouldn't. The HTTP proxy logging is very poor by comparison, and...

JR, One issue with SCC using squid, for whatever reason, they didn't keep current. I'm not sure of all the reasons why they decided to drop it, but I would...
