What do I want to watch out for, right after ISL?
Don't go changing your host name, your domain name, or your IP address willy nilly. That data is stored in too many places.

Xntpd will be running with an empty ntp.conf file.

Routed will be running.

Wu-ftpd 2.4.2 will be running and it is very very insecure!

There are a lot of security problems. See http://www.sco.com/

Be careful of starting the DNS manager; it can start a caching DNS server.

The DocServer or on older UnixWare 7 versions the Netscape server on 80, Netscape Admin Server on 620, Webtop, and Visionfs are not enable be default, but scohelp http on 457 is.

http://localhost:8458/ or http://localhost:457

You need to immediately re-apply any updates to your sytems. For example.
update710 if you just installed Uw7.1.0, update711 if you just installed Uw7.1.1....

You need to look closely at whether there is an updated NIC driver.
You need to look closely at wheter there is an updated Graphics driver, or Audio driver. There are quite a few.

The scohelp files need to be indexed, but you may still be installing software, so decide and then index it.

Root can't ftp in by default.

Be careful of applying any ptf. Only do one at a time and really look around for problems is causes like licensing errors. Look at your syslog and osmlog after rebooting.

Any Real Networks apps need to be pkgrm'd and re-added after the audio subsystem is configured.

On Uw 7.1.1 Be sure to apply set71101 as soon as possible.

Be careful of applying any ptf. Only do one at a time and really look around for problems is causes like licensing errors. Look at your syslog and osmlog after rebooting. This is much less of an issue once set71101 is installed.

Any Real Networks apps need to be pkgrm'd and re-added after the audio subsystem is configured.

Skunkware apps will need /usr/local/bin in your PATH, and they'll need /usr/local/man in your MANPATH, which is kept in /etc/default/man.

ORDER=, in /etc/default/man is too long, and overflows man's buffer! It needs to be less than 255 characters long. SCO is working on this.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be set for any shared libraries.
