RE: [cobalt-users] [Qube3] Adaptive Firewall license problems

You could drive over to Sun and find the person that designed 
that DA routine and slap him real hard.  wont help but you will
feel better  :)

Subject: [cobalt-users] [Qube3] Adaptive Firewall license problems


I was convinced to give Sun's Adaptive Firewall a try, despite the warning
flags it pops up whenever I try the UI on my Mac. It seems to limp along
well enough so far, but I've run into a different problem. Sun's online
licensing system is tied to the MAC address of eth0, assuming that is your
port to the world. Our Qube, for reasons only my predecessors know, has our
LAN on eth0, and the internet on eth1.

So the Qube tries to license the MAC address that's looking at the LAN, but
can't, evidently because that's not the address contacting Sun. Hence no
license, hence no firewall.

Anyone know a way around this that doesn't involve taking down my network?
