[Fwbuilder-discussion] 3 Problems with fwbuilder

[Alvise N. <al...@ic...>]

Problem 1:  
Running fwbuilder 1.0.11-1 on Mandrake 9.1. Using SNMP tool to retrieve
list of hosts. SNMP retrieval works, but reverse DNS fails 'almost always'
(about 40 hosts resolved out of 250). "host x.y.z.t" never fails on any of
the retrieved addresses, therefore it's not a DNS problem. Timeout and
number of retrievals for DNS queries increased without any effect. Any
hint?

Problem 2: 
Apparently, in the fwbuilder database I can have multiple hosts
with same name (and actually same everything): and every time I run a
discovery, new copies are added. Is this behaviour expected? Can it be
disabled (can I require that no two objects in the same object class can
have the same name)? I did not check with multiple firewalls or networks.
Is it the same there?

Problem 3:
from time to time, fwbuilder crashes (Segmentation fault). An example 
below:
[root@nat1x root]# fwbuilder
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@nat1x root]# fwbuilder
fwbuilder: IconList.cc:527: void* IconList::get_icon_data(int): Assertion `pos>=0 && pos<int(icons.size())' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
