It appears from reading the ibcs2 code that SCO hostnames are limited to 8 characters: struct ibcs2_utsname { char sysname[9]; char nodename[9]; char release[9]; char version[9]; char machine[9]; }; It looks lie braindeath in the license manager accepting a nodename longer than 8 characters from the license; whether you can get any action on this ius anyone's guess. 8( You might also want to talk to Steven Wallace (swallace@freebsd.org) about it, as the emulator is his puppy. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
