PROBLEM: The following program, when compiled on SCO UNIX System V/386
Release 3.2 Version 4.2 (3.2v4.2), runs correctly on SCO UNIX
Version 4.2 and SCO OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2. However, when
run on SCO OpenServer 5.0.4, the floating point value comparison
in this program fails.
If the code is *compiled* and executed on OpenServer 5.0.4, then
it will work correctly.
Using SCO XENIX/DOS Cross Development compiler 'xcc' on OpenServer
5.0.0, 5.0.2, 5.0.4 will also generate a failing binary.

PROBLEM: When I execute dbXtra or dbxtra from the command line with an "&"
sign, most components of the interface do not respond. For example:
$ dbXtra&
displays the "dialog_popup" window; however, when you enter the
name of an executable file, the file is not displayed in the source
window.
$ dbXtra binary_file&
If you include the filename as an argument on the command line, the
file is displayed in the source window, but none of the buttons in
the sidebar menu function. Only the "Exit dbXtra" command under
the File menu bar functions correctly.
$ dbxtra&
- or -
$ dbxtra binary_file&
Executing the dbxtra with or without an argument in the command
line produces a process id, but the window never appears on the
screen. Executing "ps -ef | grep dbxtra" shows the process is
running.

PROBLEM: In versions of SCO OpenServer operating systems prior to Release
5.0.0, I could use the "-n" option to the ps(C) command to
determine the booted kernel, or to run ps after relinking but
before rebooting. For instance, if I relink the kernel, by
default the current /unix gets moved to /unix.old, and a new
/unix gets created. Since the new /unix does not match the
booted kernel in memory, this message:
ps: /unix: not the booted system
appears when the ps command is run. However, in SCO OpenServer
Release 5, the -n option does not seem to work. On an OpenServer
5.0.0, 5.0.2, or 5.0.5 system, if I enter the command:
ps -n /unix.old
before relinking, or the command:
ps -n /unix
after relinking but before rebooting, the ps command works in
both cases. The same commands on an OpenServer Release 5.0.4
system result in the error:
ps: ERROR: Illegal option -- n
Why is this so, and what alternative do I have to easily identify
the booted kernel?

Even using shutdown(SSC) to shut down both the read-half and
write-half of the socket connection will not totally discard
all the queued data.
For example, shutdown(sockfd, 2) will result in:
* closure of the read-half of the socket
* no more data can be received
* any data in the receive buffer is discarded
* closure of the write-half of the socket
* no further data can be sent

PROBLEM: The check_rcpt ruleset in the sendmail.cf configuration file for
UnixWare 7.0.0, 7.0.1, or 7.1.0 may be used to prevent your machine
from being used as an SMTP relay. It prevents spammers from
making their mail appear as if it comes from your site. By default,
this feature is disabled on UnixWare 7.0.0 and 7.0.1, but is enabled
by default on 7.1.0.
A problem in this feature prevents a local SMTP connection from
sending outgoing mail. That is, if you make a connection to the
SMTP server from the same network on which the server resides, you
will not be able to send a message to another machine. The SMTP
dialog will be dropped with the error message:
Relay mail from localhost to recipient.host.name denied
where "recipient.host.name" is the name of the remote host to
which the mail is addressed.
An example of this is if you have the Netscape Communicator or
Navigator Messenger Mailbox configured with the local host as the
"Outgoing mail (SMTP) server." In this case, the Netscape mail
user agent makes a direct SMTP connection to the local host to
send outgoing mail, which will fail with the above error message.

The -p option to ps(C) seems to be a very useful way to

PROBLEM: If the kernel is relinked on a UnixWare 7 NSC system with the
idbuild(1M) command then, on the subsequent shutdown, the
idcpunix(1M) command is called automatically to save the previous
kernel and put the new one in place in the /stand/x directories
(where x is the node number). The previous one should be archived
as unix.old.
However, on an NSC system with Online System Upgrade volume (OSU)
defined at NSC install time this does not occur. The new kernel
is correctly put in place but the old one is not archived, which
could lead to problems if it is ever necessary to try to boot
from the previous kernel.
