I agree that the cpd daemon is a nuisance.  Does anyone know what happens if
you remove it from the rc startup scripts?  I've bought four copies of SCO
Open DeskTop (in fact, we were in the developer program) - have never cheated
them out of a dime.  Four machines - four copies.  But the traffic is an
annoyance, and I do have a strong aversion to these childish protection schemes.
(In fact, I have never soiled one of my systems with Lotus 123, for the same
reason!)

If anyone has tried this, I would be interested in the results.
