SCO Unix: few bugs but bad features

[Chip Salzenberg]

According to oscar at eismond.uucp (Carsten Tschach):
>Not SCO - it's so buggy !!!

I have found SCO's products to be relatively less buggy than most
other vendors' products.  We use SCO Unix 3.2v0, and we have found it
of good quality.  Most of the bugs we found are fixed in 3.2v2.

However, I often disagree with the set of features SCO chooses to
implement.  The SCO Unix C2 security, for example, has driven us
*this* close to changing vendors.

C2 security is a nightmare for support.  Imagine trying to debug
permission problems when both system programs and the *kernel* care
*which* user and group you are, and grant different permissions for
each.  Ah for the good old days, when the only choices were
"superuser" and "peon"...
