Fixed a bug in the handling of nested user groups. When an item was deleted from an included group, the including group was not updated correctly. 2. Fixed Year 2000 bugs in select and find functions in the Log Viewer. With this fix, all known Year 2000 limitations on FireWall-1 3.0b are closed. 3. On Dual CPU machines, fixed a bug which prevented the GUI client and the Management from working when both were installed on the same machine. 4. Corrected GDI (specifically bitmaps) allocation which could cause the GUI client to get stuck on Win95 when working with very large rulebase. 5. When fetching interfaces for a network object, if a fetched interface existed previous to the fetch its definition will now be overriden by the result of the fetch. 6. It is no longer permitted to enter a drive prefix to the file name (e.g. 'a:filename') when using 'save as' for a policy. 7. Disabled the use of address range objects in the security policy rulebase. It is still available for defining NAT rules. Note - To prevent the crashing of the Motif GUI due to unavailable colormap resources, this service pack includes a script - fwcolor_allocate - which starts a daemon that saves the colors for the GUI client (the daemon itself is part of the original Motif GUI installation). After installing the service pack, the fwcolor_allocate script can be found in $FWCLIDIR/bin. It should be executed prior to running the Motif GUI client.
