xvmount (Tom's device mounter) ============================== 22.5.1993 v3.0 xvmount is a small utility for mounting devices. It recognizes the following filesystem types: minix, ext, ext2, msdos, xiafs and iso9660/High Sierra. It has a simple OpenLook based user interface. You need Kenneth Osterberg's XView (XView3L4) distribution for execution. Installation: 1. Copy the executable and the manual page to an appropriate location 2. Copy the config file "xvmounttab" to "/etc" and add the devices which should be mountable. If you put the file to a differnt location you will have to define a XVMOUNTPATH environment variable. setenv XVMOUNTPATH /home/etc 3. Become superuser (su) 4. Change the owner and the group of the executable to 'root': chown root xvmount chgrp root xvmount 5. Set the setuid bit: chmod +s xvmount This is necessary because mount is a privileged system call.
