[OZAPRS] Xastir query & Garmin Quest query.

[Andrew Rich]

First question first

In UNIX, you have three sets of permissions.

- rw- r-- ---

The first little dash tells you what sort of object it is (d = directory)

The next set of three dashes, tells you the permissions for

USER, GROUP, OTHERS.

If you set chmod 777 , you will have complete access to everything from
anyone

This would look like

- rwx rwx rwx

Read Write and execute from anyone.

Dig on the net for "UNIX permissions" there is heaps.

You should install XASTIR as root, and then run it as another user.

By installing as root, you should already hav root proviledges.

linux:/var/log/squid # which xastir
/usr/local/bin/xastir

linux:/var/log/squid # ll /usr/local/bin/xastir
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2584837 Feb  5 21:09 /usr/local/bin/xastir

The 777 is a decimal equivalent of the flags.

In mycase, ROOT can read write and execute, all others can read and
execute.

Hi to the group,
Can anyone tell me, after make install when setting up xastir we can
enable
root privilege by then including
the chmod command. The question is which one.
In Readme , getting started, it's  chmod 4755, & in the Install file it's
,
chmod 4555  ???  On linux Fedora 5.
I never did get access to a com port without logging in as root, but
strangely there is no such restriction
to access the internet, the 1 place I would have thought security to be
tight.

My second question is does anyone know how to get nmea out of a Garmin
Quest
?
I pulled it appart to look inside & the 2 unused terminals on the back
are
wired to the pcb
so it may only be neccesary to command it on by some means.

Cheers, Murray, ZL1ARL.
