What do you mean no GUI ????
How do you manage it ???
Do you mean there is no management client for Linux ?
If you are on the firewall box itself, is there no GUI ?
If there is, can you not just use X to display it remotely ?
I currently use that method with our Sun OS. However, we just updated
the FW-1 version, and I was informed that I need a separate license
in order to do that !!
