Checkpoint Firewall 4.1 Admin Gui

[September Donovan]

I am all for trying and succeeding in running the FW 4.1 Gui under wine, 
however I must warn of one thing.
I do believe this is true for all applications, but a special emphasis 
should be put when dealing with sensitive security application such as CPFW.
A problem might rise, when application will run under wine, that there might 
be hidden bugs between what you see on the screen, and what is actually 
being sent to the Management machine. (the firewall). Like, assuming you 
mark a checkbox in the Gui, install the policy and hope for a more secure 
system, it is somewhat possible that the gui didn't send the marked 
checkbox, and didn't notify on any error.
Just a thought.

September.
