Operating Systems SCO SCO unresponsive after root disk Post 302942733 by jgt on Thursday 30th of April 2015 10:00:46 PM

Do all 4 machines have the same serial number?
Is the output from 'uname -X' the same for all of them.
I am beginning to think that the software supplier built one system at their site, then produced 4 machines for sale, and provided you with an emergency boot floppy, and a backup tape that you can restore; meaning that you never received a copy of the operating system, or probably any instructions on how to upgrade the hardware.
Is it possible to pull one of the other machines out of production, and install a blank drive in it as scsi id 1, then boot a standalone product like hdclone and duplicate one of the other systems. If you were to do this are there different data files on each machine?

NAME
rwho -- who is logged in on local machines SYNOPSIS
rwho [-a] DESCRIPTION
The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all machines on the local network. If no report has been received from a machine for 11 minutes then rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not report users last known to be logged into that machine. If a users hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then rwho reports this idle time. If a user hasn't typed to the system for an hour or more, then the user will be omitted from the output of rwho unless the -a flag is given. FILES
/var/spool/rwho/whod.* information about other machines SEE ALSO
finger(1), rup(1), ruptime(1), rusers(1), who(1), rwhod(8) HISTORY
The rwho command appeared in 4.3BSD. BUGS
