Licensing and Registering SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 consists of one DVD image, which can be used to:
► install a new OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 system on a physical system or in a virtual machine.
► upgrade an existing installation of OpenServer 6 to SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018.
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 supports these platforms:
► Physical hardware.
► VMware™.
► OpenServer 10 with VirtualBox™.
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 upgrades these installations:
► OpenServer 6 Maintenance Pack 4.
► OpenServer 6 V.
► OpenServer 6 Definitive (OpenServer6D2M0).
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 will not
provide a VMware appliance as was provided with OSR6V. To install a new
virtual machine running SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 on VMware, a user
can create a virtual machine and install from the Install DVD in much the
same way as they would on a physical system. If a user has previously
deployed the OpenServer 6.0.0V appliance, the user can upgrade the
resulting VM from OpenServer 6.0.0V to SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 through
use of the SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 update shell script.
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 introduces the ability to run on VirtualBox™, a type-2 hypervisor for OpenServer 10. Support to run on Bhyve, FreeBSD’s own lean type-2 hypervisor, has also been added and will be made available soon.
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 provides additional new features, including:
► Added support to install on all supported platforms including Virtual Machines.
► A simplified installation process integrating maintenance and updates into ISL.
► Added support for message signaled interrupts (automatically enabled for VirtualBox™ and Bhyve).
► Integration of device drivers updated since OpenServer 6 Maintenance Pack 4. These drivers include:
· An updated ahci driver to add support for latest ahci controllers as found with Intel 100/200 series chipsets (i.e. C236, Z170, Z270).
· An updated bcme driver that supports the Broadcom BCM5718, BCM5719, and BCM5720 NICs.
· An updated e1008g driver that supports the Intel i350 NIC.
· An updated ide driver to add QEMU compatibility.
· An updated megasas driver (added support for LSI 9341, 9361 and 9381 HBAs also known as DELL H330, H730 and H830).
· An updated mpt2 HBA driver (added support for SAS 3008 chipset).
► The OpenServer 6 development system is installed and licensed by default (FOC).
► License changes:
· Support for 500 users.
· Support for unlimited CPUs.
· Support for 32GB general purpose memory (64GB memory enabled)
► Additional maintenance (see list under Fixes and Enhancements on page 6).
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 requires a new specific subscription license:
► Upgrades from SCO OpenServer 6, including OpenServer 6.0.0V, and earlier SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive (OpenServer6D2M0) require a new SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 Enterprise System license.
► During ISL you can provide this license or you can select a thirty-day free evaluation license. You will then need to purchase and register a SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 Enterprise System license before your evaluation period ends.
► Once your system is installed, log in to your Xinuos account to register your license. If this is your first time registering a license, you can create the account at https://www.xinuos.com.
► If you purchased a one-year or three-year subscription license, you can later extend the license by purchasing a renewal license. Before applying a renewal license, the original Enterprise license must first be registered.
► Multiple renewal licenses can be applied. The previously applied renewal license must be registered before installing the new renewal license.
WARNING: When applying a renewal license, do not remove the initial OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 license or any previously applied renewal license. The earlier licenses are required for the renewal license to extend the subscription to the end date you purchased.
► If you choose to provide a license instead of accepting the evaluation license, be sure to provide the new SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 Enterprise System license and not a renewal license. A license is a Definitive 2018 renewal license if its license data field contains the string h203.
SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018 requires a specific subscription license; do not attempt the upgrade without this new license.
Before upgrading your OSR6 Enterprise or 6.0.0V system to SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018, make sure you have good backups. The upgrade process is not reversible. For more information on the installation media images and the installation process, please check the “Getting Started Guide for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive 2018”.
WARNING: Users are encouraged to check the free space before an upgrade, especially if the iso file coped to the rootfs. A minimum of 3GB should be available for the upgrade.
Use patchck to verify systems are up to date.

Updates to support Definitive 2018 licenses |
The following supplements and updates are also automatically installed through ISL:
► OSS716K, the SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive Supplement
► OSS717B, the Berkeley-DB Database Library update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
► OSS719B, the Cyrus SASL API update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
► OSS720B, the OpenLDAP update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
► OSS723C, the OpenSSL update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
► OSS724C, the OpenSSH update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
► OSS725F, the Bind update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
Please see Addendum on page 10 for more information on these supplements and updates.
► On booting the installation media, there might be a delay before input from a USB keyboard is accepted. This is caused by the USB stack initialization and will only be noticed during ISL boot.
► Using a Dell PowerVault RD1000 backup device or a Tandberg RDX1000 might cause a panic on boot if a cartridge is inserted. A fix is currently in test and will be released as soon as possible.
► A trap 0x0e panic is reported if a DELL RD1000 is used on a DELL T330. This issue is currently under investigation.
► On upgrade, during the MP5 install, you will see:
Error: license generation failed (-31)
Press <Enter> to continue:
This can be ignored.
► If /usr/lib/acct/holidays has been modified, you'll get verification errors when loading MP5 and OSS716K.
These errors can be ignored.
OSS716K, the SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive Supplement
Problems fixed:
1. Bring in psm_apm kernel driver and updated /sbin/uadmin so the system will power off after a shutdown if the BIOS supports it.
2. Updated /usr/lib/drf/mini_kernel for the psm_apm driver.
3. Add the fix in OSS711 for usr/include/nl_types.h.
4. OSR6-49: added an entry to /etc/auth/system/files to keep custom and integrity from arguing with each other about /etc/default/inet. Tightened up security on /usr/bin and /etc/rc.d entries. New versions of:
/usr/lib/libprot.so.1 /osr5/usr/lib/libprot.so.1 /tcb/bin/authck /tcb/bin/cps
/tcb/bin/integrity /usr/bin/auths /usr/bin/prwarn /tcb/lib/initcond
/tcb/files/no_luid/sdd
with the matching compiled in contents of /etc/auth/system/files.
5. OSR6-49: Modify /usr/adm/install/contents base package entries to match owner/group/perms in:
/etc/auth/system/files.
6. osr6-104: Corrected the following development system files so libtool will generate the correct linker options:
/usr/lib/libcairo.la /usr/lib/libexif.la /usr/lib/libgdk.la /usr/lib/libgdk_imlib.la
/usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la
/usr/lib/libgpg-error.la /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgtk.la
/usr/lib/libpopt.la ./usr/lib/libttf.la
7. This supplement includes a patch to /etc/rc2 and /etc/rc3 that adds the _AUTOBOOT environment variable that exists in UnixWare but not OpenServer 6. The _AUTOBOOT variable is used by some daemon startup scripts to know if they are run by a sysadmin or from the boot process.
8. The OpenServer 6 MP4 version of sendmail was linked against openssl 0.9.7 and the other libraries sendmail uses were linked against 0.9.8. Now all parts of sendmail use 0.9.8.
9. OSR6-85: Due to a packaging error, makemap produces the following error:
# makemap
dynamic linker : makemap : could not open libdb-4.4.so.0
Killed
#
Fixed.
10. During normal configuration of sendmail, config files can end up being owned by root and have 644 permissions which custom complains about. The custom entries have been modified for the following files to match real usage:
/etc/mail/access /etc/mail/access.db /etc/mail/aliases /etc/mail/domaintable
/etc/mail/domaintable.db /etc/mail/local-host-names /etc/mail/mailertable
/etc/mail/mailertable.db /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/userdb
/etc/mail/userdb.db /etc/mail/virtusertable /etc/mail/virtusertable.db
Custom now expects them to be root:sys and 644.
11. Update system header files to match build environment:
/usr/include/sys/ca.h
/usr/include/sys/clock_p.h
/usr/include/sys/cm_i386at.h
/usr/include/sys/debug.h
/usr/include/sys/emap.h
/usr/include/sys/fs/vx_gemini.h
/usr/include/sys/mman.h
/usr/include/sys/privilege.h
/usr/include/sys/socket.h
/usr/include/sys/sockio.h
/usr/include/sys/strsubr_f.h
/usr/include/sys/sysconfig.h
/usr/include/sys/termios.h
/usr/include/stdlib.h
/usr/include/tzfile.h
/usr/include/netinet/tcp_timer.h
/usr/include/netinet/tcp_var.h
12. pkginfo would not handle package set names longer than 9 characters even though package names could be up to 32 characters. Fixed “off by one”- bug in pkgtrans library function.
/usr/bin/pkginfo
/usr/bin/pkgtrans
/usr/bin/pkgadd
/usr/bin/pkgchk
13. OSR6-130 “PANIC: ran out of km_szlist entries”. Increased km_szlist to 64K in acpi driver.
/etc/conf/pack.d/apci/Driver.o
14. A packaging error in MP2 changed the group of /usr/bin/netstat from mem to bin. Changed group back to mem so a regular user can use the -g and -L options.
15. Xinuos License agreement /etc/agreement/license
16.
Update copyright years and address in
/stand/bootmsgs:
/usr/lib/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/bootmsgs
/etc/copyrights/DSrelease6.0
/etc/copyrights/release6.0
17. UW7-79: Fix typo in source file for /etc/conf/bin/idmknodd
18. update copyrights in /usr/lib/drf/conframdfs
19.
UW7-94: make package tools work as documented in
prototype(4).
/usr/adm/install/bin/pkginstall
20.
UW7-115: Updates to support Definitive 2018
licenses.
Sync license messages with UnixWare version
/usr/lib/libiaf.{a,so}
21. OSR6-138: Bring in /usr/ucblib/doctools from UnixWare so that nroff works.
NOTE: OSS716A through OSS716J were never released.
OSS717B, the Berkeley-DB Database Library update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
This supplement includes an update to the latest version of the Berkeley-DB 4.6.21p4 series needed for our OpenLDAP build.
OSS719B, the Cyrus SASL API update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
This supplement includes an update to version 2.1.23 of the Cyrus SASL API needed for our OpenLDAP build. This supplement includes the saslauthd authentication daemon useful for sendmail SMTP authentication. Two utilities (sasl-checkpass sasl-mechlist) sysadmins may find useful were added. Example programs and html docs have been included in /usr/share/doc/packages/sasl. See the Security section of DocView.
OSS720B, the OpenLDAP update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
With the version of OpenLDAP included on MP4, slapd would crash as soon as you queried it. This supplement includes an update of OpenLDAP to version 2.4.36 that works. It also includes a startup script for slapd and /usr/sbin/openldap-setup.sh for doing initial setup on config files using information specific to the local machine.
Note: slapacl, slapadd, slapauth, slapcat, slapdn, slapindex, slappasswd, slapschema, and slaptest have been moved from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin to better match UnixWare and the rest of the computing world.
► OSR6-50: A packaging problem in the release of Definitive has been corrected so the OpenLDAP man pages work.
OSS723C, the OpenSSL update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive
OSS723C contains the latest OpenSSL long term support version openssl-1.0.2m, an open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. For details of changes and known issues with openssl-1.0.2m, see the release notes at:
https://www.openssl.org/news/openssl-1.0.2-notes.html
OSS724C, the OpenSSH update for SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive

2. OSR6-84: OSR6d /etc/tcp looking for wrong sshd process ID file.
3. OpenSSH changed to the UnixWare style ptys in a previous version of OpenServer 6. The version shipped with SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive (OpenServer6D2M0) also uses the new ptys, causing some customers problems with their applications.
4. Modified /etc/init.d/opensshd to not kill the remote administrator's session if they restart sshd.
5. Fix to keep terminal sessions from locking when large amounts of text are pasted.
