Compiling and installing wmisdn:
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Change to the directory containing the wmisdn source
|
|
2. Type "make"
|
|
3. Copy the wmisdn binary to a directory of your choice
|
|
or
|
|
Type "make install" - this puts wmisdn into /usr/local/sbin
|
|
4. Type "make clean" to clean the source directory
|
|
|
|
NOTE : In order to operate properly, wmisdn must have access to
|
|
/dev/isdnctrl and /dev/isdninfo. There are two ways to grant this access, both
|
|
of which require root privileges:
|
|
|
|
I. The simple method:
|
|
1. Login as root
|
|
2. Change to the directory where the wmisdn binary resides
|
|
3. Type "chown root.root wmisdn"
|
|
4. Type "chmod +s wmisdn"
|
|
|
|
II. The secure method:
|
|
1. Login as root
|
|
2. Create a group called net (or whatever name you like)
|
|
3. Add the accounts, that should be able to use wmisdn (and generally dial out or controll the isdn connection in some other way), to this group
|
|
4. Type "chgrp net /dev/isdninfo /dev/isdnctrl* /sbin/isdnctrl"
|
|
5. Type "chmod g=rw /dev/isdninfo /dev/isdnctrl*"
|
|
|
|
I recommend the second method, since it protects your systems against bug
|
|
exploits in wmisdn (I hope they don't exist, but I can't guarantee that to 100%).
|
|
It is the method recommended by Tom Berger on his site "www.mandrakeuser.org"
|
|
(/connect/cisdn2.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
wmisdn currently compiles only under Linux. I have tested it on
|
|
* SuSE 6.0 - Kernel 2.0.36, glibc 2.0.7, XFree 3.3.4
|
|
* SuSE 6.2 - Kernel 2.2.10, glibc 2.1, XFree 3.3.4
|
|
It has been reported to work on RedHat and Mandrake systems too and should
|
|
actually compile and run on every Linux system with the kernel includes and
|
|
isdn4linux on it.
|
|
|
|
If you use WindowMaker, useful options for the info panel of the extended
|
|
look are:
|
|
NoTitlebar = Yes;
|
|
NoResizebar = Yes;
|
|
NoCloseButton = Yes;
|
|
NoMiniaturizeButton = Yes;
|
|
Omnipresent = Yes;
|
|
SkipWindowList = Yes;
|
|
|
|
You can set those in Windowmaker or in any other window manager that
|
|
supports them. Quite a shame, but I still haven't found an X function that
|
|
sets those attributes. I'd appreciate a mail if there is such function.
