I belive the Andrew Thomas did that port, take a look at
recent comp.os.qnx postings for a URL.

And OpenSSH, /dev/random, OpenSLL and a couple other packages can be

Our passwd utility adds them. If you run "passwd <newuser>" it will
create the account for you.

They should be fixed now. Otherwise, you can install them from
the CDROM you burned and view them thru the helpviewer. There are
nearly 10 printed books worth of reference included with the download.

Yeah, shelf is part of the reason why this is still considered a beta. If
you can reproduce it, post a bug @ http://qdn.qnx.com/ and let Dave

Interesting request. And yes, it is totally possible because of the
funky way Photon is designed. But I don't think we have anything
to do that currently.

You already got 'em. CTRL-ALT-[1-9]. You can do this on the text
console as well. If you go into the Shelf Config dialog and his
Add New and then Browse there is a worldview.so plugin for the shelf
that will provide you with a 3x3 mini-view of all the desktops.

Again, if you can re-produce it we would really love it if you could
file a bug report.

No idea about any of that. Check out the qdn.* newsgroups and be sure
to also visit http://www.qnxstart.com/.
