Subject: -54- How can ordinary users control the multi-channel option
(MCO)?
Date: 14 May 1994 00:00:01 EST
- To allow ordinary users to use 'vout' in MCO mode, make it setuid
root with the command 'chmod u+s /usr/sbin/vout'. No-one has
reported any security problems caused by doing this.
- To allow ordinary users to switch from normal video output to MCO
video output, get Hans Weber <weberh@cs.unc.edu>'s programs 'mcoGfx'
and 'consoleGfx' from ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/hardware/mco/, compile
them and do 'chown root.sys mcoGfx consoleGfx' and 'chmod u+s mcoGfx
consoleGfx'.
