Quick guide to differences for UnixWare 2 and SCO OpenServer users
This section describes some of the most obvious differences that you may
notice in UnixWare if you are an experienced user of
UnixWare 2 or SCO OpenServer.
If you are familiar with UnixWare 2, note the following:
Changes to GUI for system administration-
Most UnixWare 2 system administration tools have been replaced
by SCOadmin managers with equivalent functionality.
See
``SCOadmin managers''
for details.
Network administration tool-
A single network administration tool, the
Network Configuration Manager,
lets you
configure and manage network connections, network adapters, and WANs
via the
netcfg(1M)
utility.
You can still view network device information in
dcu(1M),
which you can access only via the console in this release.
If you are familiar with SCO OpenServer, note the following:
Commands-
Some commands have slightly different syntax, functionality or both.
If you experience difficulties with a command, check the manual reference page.
Manual page sections are identified by numbers-
Manual page sections are identified by the standard UNIX numbers,
not by the mnemonic letters used in SCO OpenServer.
Some equivalents are:
