fdutilsconfig

NAME

fdutilsconfig - configure the suid bit of fdmount

SYNOPSIS

fdutilsconfig

DESCRIPTION

The fdutilsconfig script provides an interactive way to configure the suid bit of the R fdmount (1) binary. It asks you some questions, give you a hint if needed, and enters your choice to /etc/fdmount.conf file.
When upgrading the Debian fdutils package, the suid bit information stored in /etc/fdmount.conf is used to tell the new fdmount binary to keep your old suid bit settings.
The script makes use of the R suidmanager Debian package, if it is installed. If the script cannot find it, it manipulates the suid bit directly via `chmod u+s' command.

FILES

fdutilsconfig reads and writes the configuration from /etc/fdmount.conf. This file is usually created when the fdutils package is installed for the first time. Please don't edit /etc/fdmount.conf manually! Use fdutilsconfig instead.

NOTE

This script was written exclusively for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It is not a part of the upstream fdutils sources.

AUTHORS

fdutilsconfig was adapted by Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org> from the gnuplotconfig script written by Tibor Simko <simko@debian.org>.
