Depends on what you mean by "do about it". You can't avoid running /etc/cpd, the CoPyrightDaemon which broadcasts on udp.60000, but you can get a version of cpd that only does it at startup. Someone probably informed SCO that the broadcasts make IP over pieces of wet string rather less useable. Support Level Suppement lng227 applies to SCO Unix TCP/IP and lng248 applies to SCO Xenix TCP 1.0.1 (the release version). Both are available for anon UUCP from sosco or scolon. Obviously you can get them from SCO Support as well... Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried them, though. -- Ronald Khoo +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
