Show running configuration from shell?

Hi, Gordon, and welcome to the User BB!

WebAdmin manipulates a database of objects.  When one of these objects is changed, WebAdmin calls confd to rewrite all of the lines of iptables, etc. where the object is involved.

Once you're more familiar with the UTM, you will realize that there's no practical use for the level of detail you've requested.  Also, while your Cisco knowledge will be an asset down the road, it is, at present, a hindrance to learning how to do things quickly and elegantly with WebAdmin.

Cheers - Bob

What you don't seem to understand is what I have been trying to impress upon Sophos NSG product managers for years.  To show compliance (especially in today's financial vertical) when facing IT audits and examinations today, a security manager must provide a complete configuration file and change log.  It is imperative.  It would be great if a security manager only had responsibility for a few UTM(s), but if you're managing hundreds, you need a way to provide full textual configuration files and a change log for the life of the appliance in an automated fashion.  It's a differentiator and if Sophos can't provide the mechanism they will always lose market share to the vendors that can.
