Checkpoint fw monitor

a command line to capture packets in Checkpoint:

fw monitor -m i -e "accept [20:2,b]=445 or [22:2,b]=445;" -o monitor.cap -ci 10 -co 10

will save 10 packets on port 445 in the file monitor.cap.

You can upload it using tftp from Checkpoint to another server and analyse it with wireshark.

However my preference is to set switch monitoring of the port to another port and use Microsoft Network monitor 3.3 to capture packets.

installing Midnight commander in Mac OS X 10.5.7

I installed fink from http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/files/
Then in terminal started
fink install mc
mc

it gives error:
dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib
Referenced from: /sw/bin/mc
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

to fix it I replaced link
ln -s /sw/lib/libintl.3.4.3.dylib /sw/lib/libintl.1.dylib
as suggested in http://www.claws-and-paws.com/node/1266

and now it works fine.

Adobe PDF IFilter 9.0 for 64bit

Can't get subject to work under MOSS 2007 64bit.

"IFilter explorer 64bit" shows it correctly enabled under WinFS, but not under Sharepoint 2007 beta. Filtdump gives error. MOSS 2007 search does not find text inside PDf files.

Any ideas? Apart from what was already checked: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsearch/thread/ba1c7d49-fd71-40c3-a3ab-d594278fd0e2

Check also this black magic for the GUID

Run Regedit by browsing to c:\Windows\system32\regedt32.exe and double-clicking it.

Within left-side tree, browse to: \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office Server\12.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\Filters\Extension\.pdf

Replace the {4C904448-74A9-11D0-AF6E-00C04FD8DC02} with new GUID i.e. {E8978DA6-047F-4E3D-9C78-CDBE46041603}

from:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/36204/How-to-Configure-PDF-iFilter-9-0-for-64-bit-operating-system-on-MOSS-2007-Server-Farm.aspx

Now it seems to be working correctly. Thanks!
