-COMPILATION:
-
- See the INSTALL file for more details.
-
- Notes:
- * use SUID_CFLAGS and SUID_LDFLAGS when you want to define special
- compiler options for typical suid programs, for example:
-
- ./configure SUID_CFLAGS="-fpie" SUID_LDFLAGS="-pie"
-
- This feature is currently supported for chfn, chsh, newgrp,
- write, mount, and umount.
-
-
-STATIC LINKING:
-
- Use --enable-static-programs[=LIST] configure option when you want to use
- statically linked programs.
-
- Note, mount(8) uses get{pw,gr}nam() and getpwuid() functions for
- translation from username and groupname to UID and GID. These functions
- could be implemented by dynamically loaded independent modules (NSS) in
- your libc (e.g. glibc). These modules are not statically linked to
- mount(8) and mount.static is still using dlopen() like dynamically
- linked version.
-
- The translation won't work in environment where NSS modules are
- not installed.
-
- For example normal system (NSS modules are available):
-
- # ./mount.static -v -f -n -ouid=kzak /mnt/foo
- LABEL=/mnt/foo on /mnt/foo type vfat (rw,uid=500)
- ^^^^^^^
- and without NSS modules:
-
- # chroot . ./mount.static -v -f -n -ouid=kzak /mnt/win
- LABEL=/mnt/win on /mnt/win type vfat (rw,uid=kzak)
- ^^^^^^^^
