What service broadcasts on UDP port 60000?
Tom Dunigan 576-2522
UDP port 60000. It's coming from an SCO Xenix engine
with Lachman TCP/IP.
thanks

What I've been told is that SCO is broadcasting their license number so that
if another host hears its license number it will "shut down" tcp in some
manner. Its apparently a copy protection scheme.

It looks like they are trying to verify the uniqueness of their serial number.
Nothing you can do about it, I'm afraid...

Correct..

Close, it is possible to obtain a patch that will reduce how often
the Copy Protection Daemon (CPD) bradcasts to the network.
Details below:

Periodic network traffic on port 60000 causing unwanted network load.
KEYWORDS: cpd daemon port 60000 network broadcast traffic unwanted load sls lng248
RELEASE: SCO TCP/IP Release 1.0.1 for SCO XENIX
PROBLEM: The copy protection daemon, cpd, periodically checks the network
for copy protection violations. Unfortunately, this places an
unwelcome load on the network.
SOLUTION: Support Level Supplement (SLS) lng248, installs a new cpd daemon
that checks for copy protection violations less often.
This SLS is only for SCO TCP/IP Release 1.0.1.
Note that the same problem occurs with the cpd daemon for SCO
TCP/IP Release 1.1.1 under SCO UNIX System V/386 and for the
SCO TCP/IP included with Open Desktop Release 1.0.0. For these
releases, SLS lng227 addresses the cpd problem.

Depends on what you mean by "do about it". You can't avoid running /etc/cpd,
the CoPyrightDaemon which broadcasts on udp.60000, but you can get
a version of cpd that only does it at startup. Someone probably informed
SCO that the broadcasts make IP over pieces of wet string rather less
useable.
Support Level Suppement lng227 applies to SCO Unix TCP/IP and lng248
applies to SCO Xenix TCP 1.0.1 (the release version).
Both are available for anon UUCP from sosco or scolon. Obviously you
can get them from SCO Support as well...
Disclaimer: I haven't actually tried them, though.

It is the networking copyright daemon, /etc/cpd. It is indeed
broadcasting serial numbers. Early versions did shut down networking
if somebody broadcast a duplicate serial number. For some reason
that was not popular :-) Anyway, newer versions just print nasty
messages when that happens. Networking does not shut down.

The "service" in question is their copy protection scheme.

There is always something you can do about it. Send the software back and
refuse to ever do business with a company which resorts to this sort of
crap. And be sure to let them know how you feel about this.

Any reason one can't merely unload the cpd (kill -9)?
