You sure can turn off C2 in SCO UNIX, in fact, unless you have a big
disc, you _better_. (At least I think so - My system was writing
1 Mbyte of accounting per minute when I first installed UNIX. At that
time, I only had about 20 Mbytes of space above all the stuff I had
installed. I found the system started to feel pretty rocky with less
than 5% of the disc space free on the system, so even if it doesn't
lock upon you when you hit bottom, you won't generally want to have
this stuff turned on unless you have disk space to burn.)

You can disable C2 security across the board by using the Relax
option from the sysadmsh menu. This step puts your system into a
more usual UNIX security configuration, but it is not reversible.
