I am getting repeated event log errors on my check point firewall saying “Unable to write to host_log” Has anyone seen this and what exactly does it mean. Is the firewall in any danger? Thanks…

It sounds like it can't write to the log file which means you have no record of the events. It's not a danger but you maybe able to correct it. I never used that firewall but if you can't find any options to tell it what to write or where to write it, I would check any of the .ini files in the checkpoint folder.
