Hello Mobble.
Reading your post's i see that your OS is Openserver 5.0.6
and Cobol system is RmCobol85. I am a cobol developer
since 1980 and ex Hp / Sco reseller and system administrator.
My problem was the same and Openserver 6 was unwanted.
My solution (for myself and all my customer) is to migrate
Os, Apps and Data to a virtualized environment using Virtualbox
(but with Wmplayer is the same).
Unlucky the SCO filesystem (Htfs) has no support or driver for
Windows/Linux, so the only way to migrate data and apps is FTP.
More, Virtualbox runs Openserver 5.0.7 very fine (5.0.6 is well know
to have a lot of bugs) but the original Cd is required to do a new
installation over the virtual hard-disk (and the license key, of curse).
I create a new VM (generic unix/linux) with 2 GB ram (this depend on
your hardware and how many users will login to the virtual server,
usually 4/8 gb are good). Virtual Hard disk kind IDE.
Starting from original Sco CD the OS was installed, then activated
(with original license key)
Sco Login (graphical desktop) disabled , only text console (as root: scologin disable)
Using FTP all Apps/Data/Homes directory copied from real server
to virtual machine.
More: instead of copy all into the virtual disk, you can map a Linux
folder with NFS into SCO, be aware that SCO 5 only support NFS V.3
Sco 5.0.7 give good support to usb, can format and mount pendrive
(for data migration and backup), and Usb Tape Drive.
Printers configured all as LPD queue
At end my customers with Putty Telnet open the same old login as
always. They don't see any difference between old real server and
the new one virtualized.
Simply, well working, at lowest cost.
Enjoy.
Bye

NAME
ftpservers - FTP Server virtual hosting configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/ftpd/ftpservers
DESCRIPTION
The ftpservers file is used to configure complete virtual hosting. In contrast to limited virtual hosting, complete virtual hosting allows
separate configuration files to be specified for each virtual host.
The set of configuration files for each virtual host are placed in their own directory. The ftpservers file associates the address of each
virtual host with the directory its configuration files are stored in. The virtual host configuration files must be named:
ftpaccess Virtual host's access file
ftpusers Restricts the accounts that can use the virtual host
ftpgroups Virtual hosts enhanced group access file
ftphosts Allow or deny usernames access to the virtual host
ftpconversions Customize conversions available from the virtual host
You do not need to put every file in each virtual host directory. If you want a virtual host to use the master copy of a file, then do not
include it in the virtual host directory. If the file is not included, the master copy from the /etc/ftpd directory will be used.
The file names must match exactly. If you misspell any of them or name them differently, the server will not find them, and the server
will use the master copy instead.
The ftpaddhost utility is an administrative tool to configure virtual hosts. See ftpaddhost(1M).
File Format
There are two fields to each entry in the ftpservers file:
address directory-containing-configuration-files
For example:
10.196.145.10 /etc/ftpd/virtual-ftpd/10.196.145.10
10.196.145.200 /etc/ftpd//virtual-ftpd/10.196.145.200
some.domain INTERNAL
When an FTP client connects to the FTP Server, in.ftpd(1M) tries to match the IP address to which the FTP client connected with one found
in the ftpservers file.
The address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address, or a hostname.
If a match is found, The FTP server uses any configuration files found in the associated directory.
If a match is not found, or an invalid directory path is encountered, the default paths to the configuration files are used. The use of
INTERNAL in the example above fails the check for a specific directory, and the master configuration files will be used.
Either the actual IP address or a specific hostname can be used to specify the virtual host. It is better to specify the actual IP of the
virtual host, as it reduces the need for a domain lookup and eliminates DNS security related naming issues, for example:
10.196.145.20 /etc/ftpd/config/faqs.org/
ftp.some.domain /etc/ftpd/config/faqs.org/
Lines that begin with a # sign are treated as comment lines and are ignored.
