For the sole purpose of being able to use a DOS application which
drives my par-port from linux, I installed
dosemu-1.0.2-bin.tgz and dosemu-freedos.bin.tgz
to my red-hat6.2 to dir:
/home/crg/DOSEMU/dosemu
which gave me 4 sub-dirs: conf, freedos, bin, Xfonts.
Several test on other DOS applications run OK.
But I can't run as root in order to access the par-port.
The various HOW2s refer to files which don't exist in my instalation. eg:
> ..........Thus you should
> not allow users to run a suid root copy of dosemu, wherever possible,
> but only a non-suid copy. You can configure this on a per-user basis
> using the /etc/dosemu.users file.
?! /etc/dosemu.user does not exist
I have edited the ..dosemu/conf/dosemu.conf for:
$_ports , but the problem is to be able to run as root.
Here's the trace of my failed atempt:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dosemu]$ su root ./dosemu <--- use this
Password:
==
Your are logged in as user root. The local configuration within
this DOSEMU installation is not intended for secure operation.
You need to run this as normal unprivileged user.
Obviously also after logging in as root, I can't run dosemu.
Please tell what are the adjustments needed to drive my par-port.
Thanks,
