pvalchev bcb9e8d8e9 This ridiculous port installs the daemon 'ceptd' as setuid root and advises
to be run as root via inetd, while it really only needs access to the modem
It also needs INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts to handle the configuration files,
etc.  Try to bring it to a usable state, and advise the user to run it
as follows:

xcept   stream  tcp     nowait  xcept   ${PREFIX}/libexec/ceptd ceptd

After creating a 'xcept' user belonging in group 'dialer'.  And, no
longer install this setuid root, which is really not needed.

XXX The user creation and the configuration files installation should
be automatic, but this will have to do for now and help the users.

After installing this package, you must create
${SYSCONFDIR}/cept.init ${SYSCONFDIR}/cept.users files.
Samples exist in ${PREFIX}/share/cept.
You must also add
xcept 20005/tcp #XCEPT
to /etc/services, add a 'xcept' user in your system
and put the user in group 'dialer', then put the line
xcept stream tcp nowait xcept ${PREFIX}/libexec/ceptd ceptd
in /etc/inetd.conf on your server host, and restart inetd.
Note that running this software as root as advised in the
distribution can present a serious security risk to your system.
