Does FW-1 have a command line interface and if so, how do I get to it. I'm somewhat new to Checkpoint FW-1, and having got it just implemented into the office infrastructure perimeter, I'd like to get to know it better than those half-wit admins here. :) Thanks in advance.

If You mean a commandline interface to define rules like You have with PIX or NetScreen. No it does not.
The fwm command with its subcommands gives You some options from the commandline though.

of course, you can ssh to it. depending on the OS (Nokia, SecureGuard, Secure Platform ...) you have certain (more or less unix-like) commands. but you can't edit any firewall rules.(actually i think you could - but it is not recommended) furthermore you have access via https whereyou define your ssh clients...
