For Linux Users
Offers documentation on issues and workarounds for deviations between SCO and Linux.
SCO OS Security
A sub-topic page that addresses security matters involving SCO OpenServer systems.
Usage Tips
Linux / *NIX Compatibility
- OS-SCO-Linux on this wiki offers workarounds for deviations between SCO and Linux.
- Rosetta Stone for Unix
Console
<Ctrl-Alt-Fn>
- Switch between multiple console sessions.
Skunkware
lxrun
Utility to allow running linux binaries under SCO, but initial testing has been disappointing. Unsurprisingly, appears to hang on 64-bit binaries. Even simple 32-bit linux binaries seem to blow up. Note "Q3.1: What if I find a Linux binary that lxrun doesn't support?" here:
Administration
General
Install or remove software products and components
custom
- Install native SCO software packages.
customextract
- Extract files from a distribution source
pkgadd
- Transfers the contents of a software package or set from the distribution medium or directory to install it onto the system.
- Example:
pkgadd -d /home/kevinb/skunkware/lxrundev-0.9.4pre5.pkg
installpkg
- Install an AT&T-style UNIX system software package.
xinstall
- Install XENIX distribution (or application program) floppies.
Services
DHCP
- Client
dcc start
, or,dhcpc
- See Also
- /var/adm/dhcp*.*
- VMware
- Configuring the network adapter and protocol for SCO Open Server 5.0 (1016915)
- 'pnt' driver (AMD PCnet-PCI) may be auto-selected, but is not recommended.
- Use Intel PRO1000 (eeG) driver instead.
- Edit /etc/dhcpc.conf to assure proper broadcast/subnet mask.
SNMP
- Setup
- http://aplawrence.com/Jeffl/snmp_install.html

Users
- Adding a user with
scoadmin
- (includes notes regarding various potential user requirements)
- Setting up a user's environment
- (includes suggested settings for various use-cases)
- Changing a user password with
scoadmin
Information
Filesystem
man hierarchy
- Layout of filesystem
Hardware
hw
hw -v
is much more informative
- Motherboard identification is possible, though it can take effort to differentiate it from chipset identifiers.
hwconfig
man rtc
sysinfo
- Generate report on system configuration for diagnostic use
- Uses sockinfo, ss, lsof, memhog, cpuhog, and iohog if available in /usr/local/bin.
Software
Install, remove, or list software products and components
custom
- pkg* utilities
pkgadd
pkgrm
pkginfo
Query system contents database; list file status; list software modifications
customquery
- Can help determine which Maintenance Pack is installed. For example:
- $
customquery swconfig | grep Maint
- SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 Maintenance Pack 5 1.0.0Mc partially installed
swconfig
swconfig -P
only displays applied patches.SCO Software Packaging Resources
