1 Installation instructions for WMiFS.
5 --------------------------------------------------------------
6 Installing this program requires root privileges, ask your
7 local system/network administrator kindly if she/he wants
8 to install this software for you ;-)
12 ----------------------------------------------------------
15 To be able to complete the installation you'll need
16 to make changes in the system's /etc directory,
17 the installation copies the GLOBAL config file
18 there, don't worry, nothing will be overwritten ;-)
22 --------------------------------------------------------------
26 4)* # vi ~/.wmifsrc and/or /etc/wmifsrc
27 set up the paths to your pppd
28 start, stop & restart scripts
29 5) % wmifs & (or wmifs -h for brief help).
31 4)* This is optional, WMiFS also works fine without them,
32 it's entirely up to you ;-)
36 Extra Install Info For Site Administrators!
37 --------------------------------------------------------------
38 For site administrators who don't want their users messing
39 up pppd's configuration files, WMiFS now supports an
40 /etc/wmifsrc.fixed file.
42 The installation will install the normal user and global
43 wmifsrc files in $HOME and /etc, NOT the fixed one!
45 WMiFS scan for 3 files at startup, in the following order:
51 If no .wmifsrc file is found in the users home directory,
52 WMiFS will use the global one (/etc/wmifsrc, if present
55 When WMiFS finds a /etc/wmifs.fixed file, all settings
56 that WMiFS detected in /etc/wmifsrc and/or $HOME/.wmifsrc
57 will be discarted i.e. OVERRIDDEN!
59 If you want your users to be able to dialout, but you
60 don't want them to mess around, simply move or copy
61 the default /etc/wmifsrc to /etc/wmifsrc.fixed :)
63 Note: When NO wmifsrc files are found at all, WMiFS will
64 work, but quite obvious, WMiFS won't launch any scripts.
65 Make sure there are valid and FULL pathnames in the wmifsrc
66 file(s) if you want WMiFS to launch your pppd scripts ;-)
70 -------------------------------------------------------------
71 WMiFS support the following commandline options:
74 -display X server display where wmppp should
75 appear (default = 0:0)
76 -i interface name, note: 'lo' can ONLY
77 be specified with '-i lo' ;-)
78 (default = default interface as it
79 appears in /proc/net/route)
80 -w draw the statistics graph in waveform
81 like mode, try it! (default = normal)
82 -v print wmifs version number
86 --------------------------------------------------------------
87 Note 1: If "make install" fails on your system, please edit
88 the Makefile to set the paths according to your setup.
89 "make install" defaults to /usr/local/bin, $HOME & /etc.
91 Note 2: Please DO read the HINTS, this file contains some
92 very usefull tips about WMiFS.
