xvmount (Tom's device mounter)
==============================
20.8.1994
v3.6
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.
Suggestions and bug reports are welcome. Please send them to
