WorkMan was ported to SVR4 by Baruch Cochavy
16
(<a href="mailto:bcochavy@iil.intel.com">bcochavy@iil.intel.com</a>).

WorkMan needs to be installed suid root. That's because the kernel
20
allow pass-through device open to root only, no matter what the
24
The build process should be done in two parts; first, as a normal user,
26
<blockquote>mv Makefile.svr4 Makefile ; make</blockquote>
27
Then, su to root, and do <code>make root</code>.
28
This may be followed by <code>make install</code>,
29
still as root (or any other uid that
30
can write to the destination directory).
33
Note that the first time WorkMan is used, a pass-through node will be
34
created. This node will be owned by root, and will belong to group root
35
as well. This is needed to provide access control to the CD device under
39
For example, if the CD-ROM device is <code>/dev/rcdrom/cd0</code>, WorkMan will
40
create <code>/dev/rcdrom/cd0p</code>. Note that this is the default name for

Complied using GCC 2.4.5, using XFree86-1.2 and accompanying OpenLook
45
so called 'extra' distribution. Does not seem to suffer the memory leak
46
bug in the 'about' popup.

Works on SVR 4.0 4.0 and Toshiba 3401B CD-ROM drive.
