@C3@l@b@cjaZip Help
@cThis program is designed to provide a fast, easy way for non-root users to
@cinteract with Iomega Zip and/or Jaz drives under Linux. Root must own the
@cexecutable and the suid bit must be set to allow non-root users to use most
@cfeatures.

@C4@b@mFeatures
@bMounting/Unmounting of Disks:
The program allows non-root users to securely mount/unmount disks.
Disks are mounted with the nosuid flag to increase security.
The type of disk should be detected automagically by reading its partition
table. Only the first disk partition encountered will be mounted by jaZip.
@bWrite Protection/De-Write Protection:
The program allows non-root users to control the disk's software write
protection feature. Password protection is not currently supported.
@bEjection of Media:
Any questions?
@bDisk Information:
Keeps you informed about the current disk's protection and mount status.

@C4@b@mNotes
@bStarting the program
There needs to be a disk in the drive in order to start the program.
@bPartitioning your disks
Since Zip and Jaz are removable media technologies, it is assumed that
each disk will contain just one partition. This is less likely to be desireable
if you are a Jaz user with 1G or 2G disks. In order to easily support
autodetection of disk types, I don't see a way around this restriction.
@bConfiguration file:
jaZip uses the file /etc/jazip.conf to map the raw SCSI device name of
the drive you wish to use onto its mount point. If you have more than
one drive on your system, you can create a seperate entry in the
configuration file for each one, and then specify the raw device
name of the drive you want to use on the command line when you
invoke jazip. If no device name is given on the command line,
jazip will use the settings in the *first* entry of /etc/jazip.conf
by default.
The format of the jazip.conf file should be mostly self-explanatory.
The first entry of the configuration file is the raw SCSI device name
of your drive (e.g. /dev/sda). The second entry is the mount point
you wish to use (e.g. /zip). The additional entries are required,
but are not user-changeable.
@bUnmounting disks to access some features:
Currently, to use the lock and unlock features, the disk must be unmounted.
