to start the web interface :

#webui enable 443 (if you want to have it listening on the tcp 443 port)

There are two authentication levels :

1. admin password
2. expert password

You change the admin password using the \passwd admin command

You change the expert password using the regular passwd unix command

ntp -n <interval seconds> <serverIP>

interval in seconds on R65

#Expert@fw1]# cpd_sched_config print

NTP on SPLAT can be configured from the Web interface as well

Sometimes you need to adjust the MTU manually (ipsec or dsl overhead can cause issues)

#ifconfig <interface_name> mtu <value>

If you need your change to be reboot persitent :

add the ifconfig <interface_name> mtu <value> line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
