We copied the shared.db file from another host that has the same SCO software and patches installed and everything works fine.

Type "userls" to provide you with a list of users on the system. Maybe an error will be displayed that may provide you with a file that cannot be opened or is corrupted.

My SCO 5.0.6 hosts rebooted on its own. No indication of graceful shutdown in /usr/adm/messages and syslog. My application log displays a timestamp of 10 days behind with garbled characters right before reboot. Any ideas of what files I can look at to determine if this is a hardware or SCO...

SCO 5.0.6. As root, I try to access Software Manager and I get an error message that it is already running. I tried to access software manager from the scoadmin menu, by typing "scoadmin software", and by typing "custom". I get the same error. I verified that scoadmin...

I am new to Linux. I want to configure my Linux host to accept rcp/rcmd commands from another host (as user root). I am getting "permission denied" errors when I use "rcp" or "rcmd" commands to the Linux host. I can "rlogin" to the Linux host, but I get...

When I receive errors for IPC problems: "send_ipc: XXXXX failed to host 17 via net1: fd=0 errno = Bad file number (9)" or "send_ipc: XXXXXX failed to host 17 via net1: fd=0 errno = Not a stream device (60)" What does host 17 mean? I only have 10 hosts in the system...

Try "umountall" and then "mountall" and see if the /mnt device is displayed.

Yes, I do understand that logging in using telnet, rlogin, etc. as the same or different user does consume a user license. We are going to remove and reinstall the license and brand again and see if this helps. Thank you.

After I try to login to my system as the "4th user", the system displays "LOGIN: All licenses are in use" and does not allow me to login. When I do a "uname -X", it displays a 5-user license (Users = 5-user). When I do a "who" only 3 users are currently...

If you type swconfig, is the driver listed? Is there a remove script ending with .rmv in the /usr/lib/custom directory that is related to the driver(s) you want to uninstall?

Followup: When we try to add the loopback driver in the network configuration menu (netconfig), we receive an error "no protocol stacks available on the system are suported on this device". The "ifconfig -a" command does not display any information. I tried to manually add...

If the HW SCO TCP/IP Loopback driver is removed in netconfig, how do we add it back in? The only options I see is to add a new LAN or WAN adapter. Any ideas?

As root, I "su user" without the users environment (su - user), root users umask is inherited. Is there a way to configure roots .profile to use a different umask for other users when they are using roots other environment variables?

We were able to find the cause of the message. in the root directory the file .cshrc contained an entry like mesg y We took that out and don't get the message anymore.

After I log in as root, I su XXXXX (XXX is the name of my ser account),I receive an error "mesg: cannot change mode". What does this error mean? The .login for this user is correct and environment variables look correct. Thank you.
