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.
