I've not used FPS so must claim ignorance on that.
Sounds like time to reinstall with the enterprise version. That picks up the 509 or 905 during installation and allows IP assignment during the install process. It supports several NICs but I've bought enough of those 2 to be able to standardize.
I lucked out and found somebody dumping excess 5/6 enterprise upgrade versions when I needed to move 8 or 9 customers from 3.2.4.2 to server. Those deals don't come often and I haven't seen any .5 listed on ebay for a while. SCO wants you to update to .7 host then to .7 enterprise at the corresponding cost since they have discontinued earlier support.
Do you have the install stuff for you application software and a way to back up your data and the ability to restore it if you make an upgrade?

I want to know more about root-kit in Solaris.. If I'm not mistaken, root-kit is a bunch of scripts nor executable program that can manipulate root-privileges.
And sometimes, root-kit is defined as malware.. Is that right?

I have a client with an OLD Point of Sale system (another POS tla). Old as in running since 1995! :eek:
I'm cloning the system, but want to complete the backup/disaster recovery plan by having the media kit.
Does anyone have a 5.0.0 media kit I can beg, borrow or buy?
Thanks!

perl-after-upgrade
PERL-AFTER-UPGRADE(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PERL-AFTER-UPGRADE(1)
NAME
perl-after-upgrade -- fixup FreeBSD packages that depend on perl
SYNOPSIS
perl-after-upgrade
perl-after-upgrade -f
perl-after-upgrade -v
DESCRIPTION
The standard procedure after a perl port (either lang/perl5.6 or lang/perl5.8) upgrade is to basically reinstall all other packages that
depend on perl. This is always a painful exercise. The perl-after-upgrade utility makes this process mostly unnecessary.
The tool goes through the list of installed packages, looks for those that depend on perl, moves files around, modifies shebang lines in
those scripts in which it is necessary to do so, tries its best to adjust dynamically linked binaries that link with libperl.so in the old
path, and updates the package database.
After installation of the new perl is complete, either by hand from the ports collection, or from a package, or via portupgrade, do the
following:
o go root;
o run perl-after-upgrade utility.
Do not specify any arguments at first, so it does nothing destructive. Pay attention to the produced output and especially to
errorlist at the end, if any;
o run the utility again, with -f command line option.
This will actually do the work. Again, pay attention to the output produced;
o fix any reported errors;
o reinstall required packages:
The utility will tell you what packages that depend on perl it could not handle. It will also tell you why it happened (for example,
they were compiled against a binary incompatible perl). If you want such packages to remain operational, you will have to reinstall
then by hand or via portupgrade.
o review the files left in the older perl installation.
This is typically /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.X.Y/. There should be very little, if any, files in that directory and its subdi-
rectories, excepting a number of .ph files;
o check that things work as they should;
o remove backup files from the package database.
Those will be /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS.bak;
o that's all.

The first version of this utility was not bundled with perl package on FreeBSD. It was dumber than the current version in several impor-
