I have tried to do the wildcard thing as requested by WebSense and it would
not work either.  So my guess is that is a problem in the firewall software
somewhere, not WebSense.  They could not tell me how to fix it though.  They
said that my http security server is not enabled and I need to enable it.  I
check the contents of the $FWDIR/conf/fwauthd.conf file and it appeared to
be enabled.

21              in.aftpd        wait    0
80              in.ahttpd       wait    0
513             in.arlogind     wait    0
25              in.asmtpd       wait    0
23              in.atelnetd     wait    0
259             in.aclientd     wait    259
10081           in.lhttpd       wait    0
900             in.ahclientd    wait    900
0               in.pingd        respawn 0

This file is in it's default state.  I have not changed anything.  Also they
recommended that I add a line to the $FWDIR/conf/fwopsec.conf in the
following format:

server        ip address of FW     18182            auth_opsec

After adding that line they said to comment out the previous 18182 line.
None of this seemed to have any effects.

Ken,
I can understand your frustation on this issues. i don't know if
both the vendors work together to give a quick solution/fix. I can
answer 2 points from your email.

1.) the in.httpd HTTP security server can be turned on the
$FWDIR/conf/fwauth.conf file
along with other servers, if i remember correctly.
2)we can test the security server  by using a wildcard resource instead of
a filter and see in that case if blocks or allows the http request to
go through. then we know w=on whose plate the problem lies.

I tried to install service pack 2, last nite, it failed, saying it
was already installed. has anybody seen that?
maybe we can work together to tell both vendors exactly what we
are seeing, since this is a major bottleneck, and wenbsense is not
functional!

regards
payal
