Andy,

I think I have an answer to your first question. You might try using
the Firewall-1 mailing list for questions as well. As a general
safegaurd, you should probbably upgrade to the latest version (2.1c)
of Firewall-1. We have seen various problems with earlier versions.

Open the Properties dialog box for the user and go to the Location tab
to check to see which destinations the user is allowed to access.

If the option "Intersect with user database" is chosen in the
Properties of the rule, then FW-1 will check the user properties to
see if they are allowed to acess the destination.
