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 ;-)
20 Make sure libdockapp (at least version 0.7.0) is installed. It

25 --------------------------------------------------------------
31 6)* # vi ~/.wmifsrc and/or $sysconfdir/wmifsrc
32 set up the paths to your pppd
33 start, stop & restart scripts
34 7) % wmifs & (or wmifs -h for brief help).
36 6)* This is optional, WMiFS also works fine without them,
37 it's entirely up to you ;-)
38 See sample.wmifsrc for an example configuration file.
39 Note that $sysconfdir defaults to /usr/local/etc. You may
40 change this by running
41 ./configure --sysconfdir=DIR
46 Extra Install Info For Site Administrators!
47 --------------------------------------------------------------
48 For site administrators who don't want their users messing
49 up pppd's configuration files, WMiFS now supports an
50 $sysconfdir/wmifsrc.fixed file.
52 The installation will install the normal user and global
53 wmifsrc files in $HOME and $sysconfdir, NOT the fixed one!
55 WMiFS scan for 3 files at startup, in the following order:
57 1. $sysconfdir/wmifsrc
59 3. $sysconfdir/wmifsrc.fixed
61 If no .wmifsrc file is found in the users home directory,
62 WMiFS will use the global one ($sysconfdir/wmifsrc, if present
65 When WMiFS finds a $sysconfdir/wmifs.fixed file, all settings
66 that WMiFS detected in $sysconfdir/wmifsrc and/or $HOME/.wmifsrc
67 will be discarted i.e. OVERRIDDEN!
69 If you want your users to be able to dialout, but you
70 don't want them to mess around, simply move or copy
71 the default $sysconfdir/wmifsrc to $sysconfdir/wmifsrc.fixed :)
73 Note: When NO wmifsrc files are found at all, WMiFS will
74 work, but quite obvious, WMiFS won't launch any scripts.
75 Make sure there are valid and FULL pathnames in the wmifsrc
76 file(s) if you want WMiFS to launch your pppd scripts ;-)
80 -------------------------------------------------------------
81 WMiFS support the following commandline options:
84 -display X server display where wmppp should
85 appear (default = 0:0)
86 -i interface name, note: 'lo' can ONLY
87 be specified with '-i lo' ;-)
88 (default = default interface as it
89 appears in /proc/net/route)
90 -w draw the statistics graph in waveform
91 like mode, try it! (default = normal)
92 -v print wmifs version number
