Hi All,

Unfortunately the oldest messages file does not contain the first message.
Thats my problem.
I suppose that, customer configurates SNMP, now my investigation focus on this.
Any other ideas are welcome 🙂

Please check that SNMP, FTP/TFTP and other customer configuration, do not contain any special character in a username or password. If you cannot find any, please clean the messages and reboot, then tail message file for the occurrence.

Hi Val,

We did the reboot, and the first occurence is this:

Apr 23 02:34:48 2021 mygw ipstcl2: check_special_char: The value of the key target contained special character
Apr 23 02:34:48 2021 mygw ipstcl2: Special characters found

Can you suggest further steps? Or I need to open a TAC case?

BR,

Hi, 

I also experienced this same problem in version R81.10 jhf take 130 in the Check Point 7000 model. In my case, it was a special character (!) that was added by one of the administrators in the input message (banner). After removing the character, the error no longer appeared in /var/log/messages. Hope this helps!

Best regards,
