As many of you may remember I did a review of Windows Services for UNIX 3.0 (SFU) a few months ago. I remember being frustrated with that release because it seemed to me that all Microsoft did was throw something together just to be able to say "Hey look, we have this". I thought, since Microsoft released version 3.5, I would revisit and see what changes were done with it. I downloaded the beta version a while back and from the beta I was very impressed with the improvements that Microsoft made. Being a beta version it was buggy and some things just didnt quite work. I finally got the final version of the OpenBSD-based SFU 3.5 and this release makes dynamic leaps and bounds over previous releases of this software package. I am glad to see a lot more work was put into this release.

Nice article.
1) csh and ksh are configured with 'vi' keybindings by default, though 'emacs' bindings work as well. The point being, if you hit 'up-arrow,' and then 'back-arrow' and try to edit your previous, you may get beeped at, but that does not mean anything is wrong.
2) I am 90% sure and ssh client is included, in any event, I installed OpenSSH from the 'Tools' warehouse at Interop Systems right after I installed, and have both an ssh client and server running. (Tip, the sshd startup script on my system was broken after installation, so it might need edited on others as well. Among other problems, sshd was in /usr/local/sbin while the script pointed to /usr/local/bin
3) I don't know about load, as on my system SFU 3.5 is just idling w/o any problems. CPU usage at the moment is 00%, and memory usage is:
inetd 400K
cron 524K
init 528K
syslogd 540K
zzInterix 564K
sshd 852K
PSXRUN 1460K
PSXSS 3796K
All told, less that the ~12M that the Kiwi syslog daemon I was running earlier took. However, I have to admit, I think Kiwi's tab separated output is nicer that syslog std.
