No, I was doing a UnixWare audit, which, as far as I know, does not include
the Skunkware CD.  Even if it does, I'm sure I didn't install it on top of the
normal UW CD install.  If these applications are from the Skunkware distro and
were merely included on the UW installation CD's, the user is never notified
that they are installing "unsupported", possibly insecure software.  From an
end-user perspective, it doesn't make any difference that these programs are
insecure but not written by SCO.
