Re: Why does patchck on SCO 5.0.5 fail?


Bahh, re-post
I left junk at the top by accident and it looked like there wasn't anything else.
The real message was at the bottom.

---snip pertinent parts---

First just try this:
echo 'FTPCMD505="ftp"' >> /usr/lib/patchck.d/patchck.conf

If that doesn't work (depends on how good your router is), then do this:

This assumes you have already installed, or will install oss646c the normal way (without the help of patchck)
Beware 3 lines that begin with cpio, zcat, and echo, are long and will probably wrap in the email.

mkdir -p /tmp/ftp
cd /tmp/ftp
ftp -in ftp.sco.com <<%%FTP
user ftp me@xxxxxxxx
quote pasv
hash
bin
cd /pub/openserver5/rs506a
get rs506a.tar
quit
%%FTP
tar xqvf rs506a.tar ./VOL.000.009
rm rs506a.tar
cpio -iAdqv opt/K/SCO/tcp/rs506a.tcp211.1.0a/usr/bin/ftp.Z <VOL.000.009
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
zcat opt/K/SCO/tcp/rs506a.tcp211.1.0a/usr/bin/ftp.Z >/usr/local/bin/ftp506
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ftp506
cd /usr/lib/patchck.d
cp patchck.conf tt
grep -v "FTPCMD505" tt >patchck.conf
echo 'FTPCMD505="/usr/local/bin/ftp506 -p"' >>patchck.conf
rm -rf tt /tmp/ftp
cd

patchck now uses ftp client from 5.0.6, with the -p option.
