Back In The Day - early/mid 90s - I saw #SCO (or possibly #Novell) demo a version of #Unixware on some funky PC hardware where you could add and remove physical CPUs and memory on the fly. Does anyone remember what that hardware was?

And does anyone know when this feature will be added to #QEMU? It's just that my #FreeBSD testing VM has just started swapping, and I'd like to allocate more memory without having to stop it.

In the majority of cases there actually is no separate inet_pton() manual page.

https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=inet_pton&sektion=3

https://man.netbsd.org/inet_pton.3

http://tribblix.org/man/man3c/inet_pton.html

https://man.omnios.org/man3c/inet.3c

http://uw714doc.xinuos.com/en/man/html.3N/inet.3N.html

Although most of those call out inet_pton(), SCO #UnixWare in fact documented the four human-readable IPv4 formats for inet_pton(), and did not even have an inet_aton().

In #NetBSD, the internal inet_pton4() function was indeed updated by Christos Zoulas from the old Paul Vixie code to support the four human-readable formats of inet_aton(), 22 years ago; although it's not clear where this additional IPv4 conversion functionality is actually used.

The old Paul Vixie code from 1996 is retained in GNU libc, #FreeBSD, & #OpenBSD; this being code from the BIND DNS client library.

It was superseded by a from-scratch reimplementation based around a str2inet_addr() function in #Solaris/ #Illumos/ #Tribblix/ #OmniOS. musl libc also has its own from-scratch version.

Выживание на SCO UnixWare 7 в 2025 году

Привет, это oldzoomer. Сегодня я расскажу про то, какова "на вкус" использование одного из самых "ортодоксальных" UNIX-систем, которая дожила до нынешних дней благодаря усилиям компании Xinuos , и которая до сих пор поддерживается ими же.

Выживание на SCO UnixWare 7 в 2025 году

Experiences with #dreckly / #pkgsrc on obscure Unixes:

#UnixWare - bootstrap succeeded! Just needed a few simple fixes.
#OpenServer - see UnixWare.
#BSDOS - kernel panic during installation. Support incomplete.
#HPUX - kernel panic during installation.
#QNX - bootstrap success! No changes needed.
#Haiku - bootstrap failed due to open() behaviour. "Invalid argument".

If you have a shell on an #IRIX or #HPUX machine, please let me know!

@thomholwerda

Where do you get the #UnixWare?
Is it just repackaged #FreeBSD or #OpenIndiana nowadays?

Not entirely accurate but good enough for a laugh
#Linux #SCO #Unixware #SunOS #Solaris #HP-UX #AIX #Meme
@symbology @SDF The problem is, no one uses a true Unix any more. #FreeBSD & #NetBSD rewrote themselves, plus they didn’t keep the truly blesses SysVr4 init: https://jdebp.uk/FGA/unix-service-access-facility.html
Linux is an abomination of amateur implementations of misheard ideas from #plan9, #solaris & #minix.
#illumos remains true, and like anything truly pure, no one wants any.
And surely no one would touch SCO /Xinuos #UnixWare or #OpenServer without lawyers present…

AT&T가 UNIX System V/386 를 내놓았습니다.
이를 잇는 버전으로 Univel(AT&T의 USL과 Novel의 협력)이 UnixWare 1.0 을 내놓았습니다.
USL과 Univel을 인수한 Novel이 UnixWare 1.1부터 2.0까지 내놓았습니다.
이를 SCO가 사서 UnixWare 2.1.3까지 내놓았고요. (2.1.4도 업데이트 문서에 있긴 하지만 보진 못 했음)
SCO가 OpenServer의 5와 UnixWare의 2를 합쳐서 UnixWare 7으로 버전을 변경했습니다.
애써 UNIX System V의 종손을 찾자면 이렇게 #UnixWare 인 거죠.

그나마 최신이면서 쓸만한게 UnixWare 7.1.4 입니다.
가장 나중 버전인 UnixWare 7 Definitive 2018은 구독형 라이선스라 구입하긴 좀 그런 버전이고요. 그리고 UnixWare 7.1.4에 Maintenance Pack 4(MP4)를 설치하고 몇 가지 업데이트를 수동으로 하면 가장 나중 버전과 별 차이가 없지요.

설치 쉽게 하려고 VM 이미지 만들어봤습니다. 라이선스는 불포함이고요.
