Template: plptools/customize Type: note Description: Customize /etc/plptools.conf In addition to plptools' main daemon "ncpd", plptools provides two optional daemons: . plpnfsd (for nfs-like mounting a Psion's drives) plpprintd (for printing via PC from a Psion Series 5) . Both daemons are disabled by default. You can enable them by editing /etc/plptools.conf. Template: plptools/ncpd/start Type: boolean Default: true Description: Should ncpd being started during boot? Normally, ncpd - the daemon which handles the serial connection to a Psion - is started on boot-up. If you intend to connect your Psion to another machine on the net and NEVER will use it locally, you can disable this here. Template: plptools/ncpd/serial Type: string Default: /dev/ttyS0 Description: Specify serial line to be used By default, the Psion is expected to be connected to the first serial line (COM1:) of your machine. You can change this here. Template: plptools/ncpd/listenat Type: string Default: 127.0.0.1 Description: Specify the IP address and port for ncpd If you intend to use the plptools front-ends from other machines, you can specify 0.0.0.0 or the IP address of your machine here. Normal users should keep the default 127.0.0.1! . Note, that THIS IS A SECURITY THREAT as no authentication and no encryption is used! DO NOT USE THIS on machines which are accessible from the Internet! Template: plptools/plpnfsd/start Type: boolean Default: false Description: Should plpnfsd being started during boot? If plpnfsd is started during boot-up, it will wait for a Psion being connected and then automatically mount that Psion. Since this is done as root, non-privileged users will not have access to the mounted directory. If you have a single-user machine, you probably want to start plpnfsd manually when you need it. Template: plptools/plpnfsd/suid Type: boolean Default: false Description: Set SUID-root bit of plpnfsd? For convenience on a single-user machine, plpnfsd can be installed with the setuid bit enabled. This allows any local user to mount and unmount a connected Psion. Be warned, that THIS IS A SECURITY THREAT to your machine. NEVER ENABLE THIS ON A MULTIUSER MACHINE. Template: plptools/plpprintd/start Type: boolean Default: false Description: Should plpprintd being started during boot? If you intend to use the Psion's "Print via PC" feature, you can enable this option. You must have a working print queue which is capable of printing Postscript in order to use this feature. Template: plptools/plpprintd/printqueue Type: string Default: psion Description: Specify the print queue to be used Please enter the name of the print queue you want to use for printing from the Psion. Template: plptools/frontends/remoteaddr Type: string Description: Specify remote host to be contacted Since you have ncpd either disabled or listening on a non-standard address, you should specify the address for the frontents again.
