Item 1.  Security and Issuer

Common Stock, $.01 par value ("Common Stock") of CyberGuard Corporation, a
Florida corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the
Issuer are located at 2000 West Commercial Blvd., Suite 200, Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida 33309.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

This amendment is filed by Fernwood Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Fernwood").

The principal office and principal business office of Fernwood is 100 First
Stamford Place, Stamford, Connecticut 06902.

Fernwood is principally engaged in the purchase, sale, and investment in
securities of other companies, including debt instruments.

Fernwood has not been convicted in any criminal proceedings during the five
years preceding the filing of this report.

During the five years preceding the filing of this report, Fernwood has not been
a party to any civil proceedings of a judicial or administrative body which has
resulted in any judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of,
or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On August 26, 1999, Fernwood used its working capital funds to acquire
$3,699,484 in principal amount of Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes") of
the Issuer. Fernwood and the Issuer executed a First Amendment to Convertible
Promissory Note dated December 29, 2000, wherein the Notes were amended to
provide that interest is compounded quarterly and added to the principal amount
of the Notes rather than paid in cash. On December 29, 2000, Fernwood used
working capital funds to acquire $1,000,000 in principal amount of additional
Notes of the Issuer (the "New Notes"). The total amount of funds required to
exercise the Common Stock Purchase Warrants described in Item 5 (the "Warrants")
would be $8,384,801. Fernwood would expect to use working capital funds to
exercise the Warrants, if it elects to exercise the Warrants.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The purpose of acquiring the Notes, the New Notes and the Warrants is to provide
Fernwood the opportunity to make a significant investment in the capital stock
of the Issuer and provide Fernwood with the opportunity to increase the level of
its investment in the future. Fernwood and the Issuer executed a Loan Agreement
dated August 26, 1999 (the "Loan Agreement") with respect to the purchase by
Fernwood of $3,699,484 principal amount of the Notes and the concurrent grant to
Fernwood of the Warrant to purchase 3,699,484 shares of Common Stock at $2.00
per share through August 26, 2004, and certain related matters. The principal
and accrued interest of the Notes is convertible, at any time at the holder's
option, into shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per share through June 30, 2002.
The transaction was consummated on August 27, 1999. In connection with the
transaction, David Manning and William B. Scott were elected to the Board of
Directors of the Issuer.

On December 29, 2000, Fernwood and the Issuer executed Amendment No. 1 to Loan
Agreement with respect to the purchase by Fernwood of $1,000,000 principal
amount of the New Notes and the concurrent grant to Fernwood of a Warrant to
purchase a maximum of 392,762 shares of Common Stock at $2.51 per share through
December 29, 2005, and certain related matters. The principal and accrued
interest of the New Notes is convertible, at any time at the holder's option,
into shares of Common Stock at $1.51 per share through June 30, 2002.

Fernwood may from time to time exercise, in whole or in part, its Warrants to
purchase additional shares of Common Stock. Fernwood may also purchase
additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market at prevailing
market prices. Fernwood does not have any intention of making a tender offer for
any outstanding shares of capital stock of the Issuer. Except as set forth
herein, Fernwood does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would
result in the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, an
extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer
of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, any
change in the present Board of Directors or management, any change in the number
or term of directors, the filling of any vacancy on the Board of Directors of
the Issuer, any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of the Issuer, any other material change in the business or corporate structure
of the Issuer, changes in the charter or by-laws which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer, the delisting from a national securities
exchange or termination of quotations in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association for any class of capital stock of the
Issuer, a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or any action similar to the foregoing actions listed.
Fernwood will continue to evaluate the Issuer and its investment therein and may
later determine to propose or support any one or more of such actions in the
future, to purchase additional shares of capital stock or to sell part or all of
its holdings of capital stock of the Issuer.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The principal and accrued interest of the Notes and the New Notes would be
convertible into 5,749,090 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, assuming the
Notes and the New Notes are held to maturity (June 30, 2002) and then converted,
or 29.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The Warrants would be
exercisable for a maximum of 4,092,246 shares of Common Stock, assuming the New
Notes are held to maturity, or 20.8% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Issuer. In both instances, the percentages assume the issuance of the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the
New Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants, but do not include shares issuable
pursuant to other outstanding options or warrants of the Issuer.

Fernwood will have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to any Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes or the New Notes, or exercise of the
Warrants. Fernwood is a member-managed limited liability company.

Except as set forth above, Fernwood does not own any capital stock of the Issuer
and has not had any transactions in the capital stock of the Issuer in the past
60 days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer

Except as set forth in Items 4 and 5 and as provided in Exhibits 1 through 7 to
this Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D, Fernwood does not have any contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any
person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited
to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures,
loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed As Exhibits

         *1. Loan Agreement dated August 26, 1999 between the Issuer and
Fernwood.

         *2. Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of
