KEYWORDS: cpd daemon port 60000 network broadcast traffic unwanted load sls lng248 RELEASE: SCO TCP/IP Release 1.0.1 for SCO XENIX PROBLEM: The copy protection daemon, cpd, periodically checks the network for copy protection violations. Unfortunately, this places an unwelcome load on the network. SOLUTION: Support Level Supplement (SLS) lng248, installs a new cpd daemon that checks for copy protection violations less often. This SLS is only for SCO TCP/IP Release 1.0.1. Note that the same problem occurs with the cpd daemon for SCO TCP/IP Release 1.1.1 under SCO UNIX System V/386 and for the SCO TCP/IP included with Open Desktop Release 1.0.0. For these releases, SLS lng227 addresses the cpd problem.
