There are 68 results. You might find a solution there, or gain enough insight to know the risks of not installing the patch, and whether they affect you.

i did the search. The most articles are about the problems that the systems have AFTER installing rs506a

here are the improvements of rs506a described:
What is Release Supplement 5.0.6a and where can I get it?

so lets look for me:
BIND 8.2.2 - i do not need a better DNS daemon
Client Manager - for my 5 clients the one installed works
Network configuration improvements - the network works, so i do not need it
P6 microcode updates - my version runs as a pentium (I) on a vmware, so i do not need this
Pentium 4 support - my version runs as a pentium (I) on a vmware, so i do not need this
SCSI III tape device support - i do not have a scsi tape drive
popper 3.0.2 - i do not use the pop3 service
FTPD 2.6.1 - the ftp works, i do not need a newer version
Improved PPP Manager authentication and name service support - my sco box is within a separate network. it does not need PPP

DHCP client - my sco box has a fixed ip Smilie

IP Filter improvements - my sco box is within a separate network without internet access. i do not need a firewall there
Improved more command - nice, but not necessary. a less command would be better
MountCD icon - i do not use a desktop environment
New and updated documentation - new man pages for new software
Bug fixes - so far the first really interesting point

the bug fixes are described here: What problems are fixed in Release Supplement 506a for SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.6?

Because the 3rd Party Software does not work properly after rs506a, i will not install it. and as i had seen, i do not need the most features of rs506a.
