Quick guide to differences for UnixWare 2 and SCO OpenServer users

This section describes some of the most obvious differences that you may notice in UnixWare if you are an experienced user of UnixWare 2 or SCO OpenServer.

If you are familiar with UnixWare 2, note the following:

Changes to GUI for system administration

Most UnixWare 2 system administration tools have been replaced by SCOadmin managers with equivalent functionality. See ``SCOadmin managers'' for details.

Network administration tool

A single network administration tool, the Network Configuration Manager, lets you configure and manage network connections, network adapters, and WANs via the netcfg(1M) utility. You can still view network device information in dcu(1M), which you can access only via the console in this release.

If you are familiar with SCO OpenServer, note the following:

Commands

Some commands have slightly different syntax, functionality or both. If you experience difficulties with a command, check the manual reference page.

Manual page sections are identified by numbers

Manual page sections are identified by the standard UNIX numbers, not by the mnemonic letters used in SCO OpenServer.

Some equivalents are:

SCO OpenServer section	UnixWare equivalent
C	1 (Unrestricted commands)
NC	1 (Unrestricted network commands)
ADM	1M (Administrative commands)
ADMN	1Mtcp (Networking administrative commands)
F	4 (System files)
M	5 (Miscellaneous)
