From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021210 Description of problem: The current mtools package (3.9.9-2) doesn't include the floppyd daemon which is used to allow remote access to floppy drives. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mtools-3.9.9-2 How reproducible: Always
Created attachment 92144 [details] floppyd config file for use with xinetd This file is used to start floppyd from xinetd
Created attachment 92145 [details] mtools.spec patch, this should enable mtools-floppyd package to be build. This patch is against the mtools.spec found in mtools-3.9.9-2.src.rpm this patch enables the build of mtools-floppyd as an additional package (use this in conjunction with the previous attachment floppyd.xinetd)
