SCO Puts Out a Press Release About Selling UNIX Assets
SCO is announcing to the world that its UNIX assets are for sale. Here's the press release on PR Newswire. It describes itself as "a leading provider of UNIX software technology." It says it is selling "substantially all" of its UNIX business, "including certain UNIX system V software products and related services". Hmm. SysV what?
"Our goal is to ensure continued viability for SCO, its customers, employees and the UNIX technology," said Nielsen.
As you have witnessed in the past decade as SCO has sued one customer after another, ensuring continued customer viability has always been at the top of SCO's bucket list and close to its noble heart. My question is, might the timing of all this be connected with the rumored sale of Novell? Not to be cynical, but with SCO, I always assume there will be vultures.

net::server::proto::unix

Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			       Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3)

NAME

       Net::Server::Proto::UNIX - Net::Server UNIX protocol.

SYNOPSIS

       See Net::Server::Proto.

DESCRIPTION

       Protocol module for Net::Server.  This module implements the UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket type.  See Net::Server::Proto.

       Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and group specified in the starup arguments.

PARAMETERS

       The following paramaters may be specified in addition to normal command line parameters for a Net::Server.  See Net::Server for more
       information on reading arguments.

       unix_type
	   Can be either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM (default is SOCK_STREAM).  This can also be passed on the port line (see Net::Server::Proto).

	   However, this method is deprecated.	If you want SOCK_STREAM - just use proto UNIX without any other arguments.  If you'd like
	   SOCK_DGRAM, use the new proto UNIXDGRAM.

METHODS

       NS_unix_path/NS_unix_type
	   In addition to the standard NS_ methods of Net::Server::Proto classes, the UNIX types also have legacy calls to NS_unix_path and
	   NS_unix_type.

	   Since version 2.000, NS_unix_path is simply an alias to NS_port.  NS_unix_type is now redundant with NS_proto.

	   These methods were missing between version 2.000 and 2.003 but have been returned as legacy bridges.

QUICK PARAMETER LIST

	 Key		   Value		    Default

	 # deprecated UNIX socket parameters
	 unix_type	   (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM) SOCK_STREAM
	 port		   "filename"		    undef

	 # more recent usage
	 port		   "filename / UNIX"
	 port		   "filename / UNIXDGRAM"

LICENCE

       Distributed under the same terms as Net::Server
