gnubeep 1.4 - INSTALL NOTES


To build, simply type 'make' at the shell.  At this point, you have two install
targets to choose from (suggested by Andrew Collier):

install
install-suid

'install' will simply copy the built gnubeep binary to /usr/bin, and no SUID
root privileges will exist on gnubeep - thus only root users can invoke 
successfully.

'install-suid' will cause gnubeep to be installed SUID root to /usr/bin.  This
allows non-root users to also run gnubeep.  Note that gnubeep *needs* root
privileges either way, because it needs to request access to several I/O ports,
which needs root privileges.

Both install targets will also install the gnubeep man page, gnubeep.1.

I have created two Make targets because some prefer not to have SUID root
binaries lying around, although I am quite certain gnubeep doesn't have any
security holes.

There is now a 'clean' target present in the Makefile to allow easy removal of
gnubeep and its man page from your system, should you no longer require the
program.


Thank you.
