it is "system v/mls 1.1.2 running on unix system v release 3.1.1".
so it ain't even SVR3.2 ...

i've read the final evaluation and it does seem like a nice little
product.  i've been told it was a commercial failure, however.  SCO
has probably sold significantly more of it's "C2" product than AT&T
has of its certified B1 product.

sad to say, but secureware is also doing security for OSF ...
