Symptoms

$FWDIR/conf/masters file on Security Gateway was modified manually. However, this file is overwritten during each policy installation.

Cause

The values of both parameters 'define_logging_servers' and 'use_loggers_and_masters' are configured to the same value ('true' or 'false') in the Security Gateway object. This information is stored on the Security Management Server / Domain Management Server in the $FWDIR/conf/objects_5_0.C file.

One of these configuration examples causes this issue:

# Configured Parameters

:define_logging_servers (true)

:use_loggers_and_masters (true)

:define_logging_servers (false)

:use_loggers_and_masters (false)
