Application run on SCO Openserver but not freeBSD.
Hi, I have an application which I run on SCO Openserver and I was hoping it would run on FreeBSD but it doesn't. It is a cobol application but the cobol compiler will not run. Many years ago we moved from Interactive Unix to SCO and we simply copied the complier onto the SCO box and away it went, I was hoping to do the same with FreeBSD, is that not possible? Regards, Jim.

Can't log in a root from anywhere but the console screen.
I want to use a PC to telnet to the freeBSD server and login as root but it won't let me! Can you help? I can login as a normal user just not as root, I can't key in su to get in as superuser either.

Erik suggested I use ssh, I've never used ssh before and when I do it says the connection has been refused. The root user is in the wheel group, I have a user called jim which is in a group called group he is able to login using telnet. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Running applications on freebsd which currently run on SCO Openserver.
Hi, I have an application which is written in cobol and runs on SCO Openserver, we moved from Interactive Unix to SCO many years ago without any problem. Is it possible to just copy the executables ( the compiler, some utility programs etc. ) onto a freebsd machine? I have tried but they don't run! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Borland.

Systems Administration Tool
Hi, Is there any kind of systems administration tool on freebsd to enable the configuration of such things as printers and users? Is there a graphical user interface? Thanks, Jim.
