NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       fdutilsconfig - configure the suid bit of fdmount

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       fdutilsconfig

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  fdutilsconfig  script provides an interactive way to configure the
       suid bit of the 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  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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

AUTHORS    [Toc]    [Back]

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