1.1     ! trev        1: BUILDING & INSTALLING FAM
        !             2:
        !             3: The standard way to build and install FAM is as follows:
        !             4:
        !             5:     ./configure
        !             6:     make
        !             7:     make install
        !             8:
        !             9:
        !            10: STARTING FAM
        !            11:
        !            12: FAM uses RPC, and is usually started by a superserver such as inetd or xinetd.
        !            13:
        !            14: The make install target currently tries to add FAM to the system's portmapper
        !            15: and inetd, however this method will soon be removed.
        !            16:
        !            17: To manually add FAM:
        !            18:
        !            19: 1. Add FAM to your portmapper
        !            20:
        !            21:    Add this line to /etc/rpc:
        !            22:     sgi_fam         391002  fam             # File Alteration Monitor
        !            23:
        !            24: 2. Add FAM to your superserver
        !            25:
        !            26:    If you use inetd, add this line to /etc/inetd.conf
        !            27:     sgi_fam/1-2 stream  rpc/tcp wait    root    /usr/local/bin/fam      fam
        !            28:
        !            29:    then tell inetd to reread its configuration file:
        !            30:     killall -HUP inetd
        !            31:
        !            32:    If you use xinetd, add a file similar to the following in /etc/xinetd.d/
        !            33:
        !            34:     --8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
        !            35:     # default: on
        !            36:     # description: FAM - file alteration monitor
        !            37:     service sgi_fam
        !            38:     {
        !            39:     	type		= RPC UNLISTED
        !            40:     	socket_type	= stream
        !            41:     	user		= root
        !            42:     	group		= nobody
        !            43:     	server		= /usr/local/bin/fam
        !            44:     	wait		= yes
        !            45:     	protocol	= tcp
        !            46:     	rpc_version	= 2
        !            47:     	rpc_number	= 391002
        !            48:     }
        !            49:     --8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
        !            50:
        !            51:     If you do not want to use either, start FAM with the -T0 option:
        !            52:      /usr/local/bin/fam -T0
        !            53:
        !            54:     Naturally you will need to place this in your system's startup
        !            55:     file if you want it to be automatically started.
        !            56:
        !            57:
        !            58: 3. Ensure that FAM is registered with the portmapper
        !            59:
        !            60:    Run this and make sure that you get at least one line of output:
        !            61:     rpcinfo -p | grep fam
        !            62:
        !            63:    if you don't, you may need to restart your portmapper and (x)inetd.
        !            64:
        !            65:
