What were the features of Olivetti's MOS Operating System? How Unix like was it? Did it have a root user feature? How secure was it? Could the system be locked down to prevent anyone from altering the system - so each person would have access to only a predefined application and this couldn't be by-passed as there was no user back-door (such as a root password or ID). Any system changes once locked down would require a rebuild of the system. |

An interesting feature of L1/MOS
From: winterstorm-ga on 05 Nov 2002 10:53 PST |
One interesting feature of the L1/MOS operating system (for the Olivetti L1 system) was that each command name was the name of a directory, not the name of a single binary file. The directory contained many files needed to run the command including at least one file that was an executable. A similar approach was taken by the NeXTStep operating system. |
