Administering other systems with SCOadmin

Several SCOadmin applications enable you to manage other SCO systems on your network. Two types of administration are supported: remote and distributed. See ``Administering other systems with SCOadmin managers'' in the Networking Guide.

Remote administration includes:

• configuring and managing remote printers

• configuring remote filesystems

• managing remote accounts

• performing remote backups

• managing remote SNMP agents

Problems with multiple invocations

If you accidentally double-click on a SCOadmin manager icon four or more times, multiple overlapping copies of the manager will be started. If this occurs, close the lower windows, leaving the last copy open for use. If the remaining window fails to accept input, close it using the window menu (as opposed to the SCOadmin menu) and restart the manager.

Making selections in character mode

In graphical mode, selections that cannot be used are dimmed (stippled). In character mode, invalid selections are enclosed in parentheses ``()''.

If you encounter difficulties navigating through the selection fields in character mode, press <F2> for quick-reference help.
