Q: Where are the policies and objects stored on the Management server?

A:

They are all stored in the conf subdirectory of the program directory. In Checkpoint parlance, this is $FWDIR/conf/. On my Windows-based management station, the directory name is C:\WINNT\FW1\R55\CONF\.

• objects.c - contains all the objects
• rulebases_5_0.fws - appears to contain all of the policies and their rules
