Most of these SLS's have been replaced by net100, you also need oss436, oss437 and oss438 (If 'm not mistaking). Check the release notes : some of the patches required are mentioned, check the SCO Web pages for the patches. There are some other nasty bugs in SCO, especially the networking part which require fixing. Kernel parameters need to be changed (SHMAX and others) , most of them manually by adjusting the file /etc/conf/cf.d/stune, otherwise Informix won't even run (not on the servers I installed - COMPAQ ProLiant 4500, 5000 and ProSignia 500). Go for release 7.20.UC2 or better, lesser version have some nasty bugs! Koen Van der Elst Systems Engineer
