There are some, such as command behavior/naming... if you've worked on
other platforms, you may be aware of them.
On HP-UX, "rsh" is a restricted-shell but on linux is the equivalent of
"remsh".
Korn shell in RHEL5 is ksh93, whereas on HP-UX its ksh88 - some things
such as the way "local" variables work could affect scripts depending on
if your functions are Bourne-style (name () { ... }) or Korn-style
(function name { ... }). Also, the builtin "echo" command of ksh is not
"AT&T" style as the package is built, so you'll get something like:
$ echo "blah\c"
blah\c
I can tell you how to re-build the package to get the same behavior as
HP-UX if you want...
Do you use NIS or LDAP?
I haven't done any migrations, but we use both platforms.

Subject: [rhelv5-list] Migrating HPUX to RHEL5
Greetings,
We will be soon be migrating of an HPUX 11.11 system to RHEL5. At
first glance this seems rather straightforward, and we have tested
migrating the TCB information into shadow, logging in, providing
existing services. Are there any 'gotchas' that members of this list
have experienced doing such migrations, specifically things that aren't
immediately noticeable as documented, one being limitations on UID
length between the systems, etc?
Thank you much,
Eugene
