It appears from reading the ibcs2 code that SCO hostnames are limited to
8 characters:
struct ibcs2_utsname {
char sysname[9];
char nodename[9];
char release[9];
char version[9];
char machine[9];
};
It looks lie braindeath in the license manager accepting a nodename longer
than 8 characters from the license; whether you can get any action on this
ius anyone's guess. 8(
You might also want to talk to Steven Wallace (swallace@freebsd.org) about
it, as the emulator is his puppy.
