                  lightbar Installation readme file
		      v1.12 build 9/23/97.1230

lightbar is known to compile on the following systems (maybe others as well):
     * SunOS 4.1.4, 5.5.1
     * Linux (All)
     * FreeBSD

Introduction:

	If problems occur compiling lightbar please report them to the
author, also, if you're using SunOS or FreeBSD your in.telnetd may not
compile turn off issue.net printout on your in.telnetd or get a new
in.telnetd from lightbar's web page.  Contacts include blind@xmission.com
and on IRC Efnet #linuxOS channel.  Bug reports maybe reported the same
way aswell.

	-lwrap bug ** If you get or have a problem compiling lightbar
because you're missing the libwrap library download tcp_wrappers from
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/net/base/tcp_wrappers_7.4.tar.gz
compile, and install it (following the instructions).

	Some features will work with lightbar including shadow support
for your logins aswell as support for crypt(), kerberos tickets and
rlogin (preauthenticated logins). If you have a encryption method or 
something that will not work with lightbar please report it.


Compiling lightbar:

In order to compile lightbar you first must have installed the
tcp_wrappers package and the newest release of lightbar. To compile
lightbar follow these steps:

  1) Enter the lightbar source tree and run the ./configure script
     and answer the questions it'll ask.  It will compile a config
     file for your system that lightbar will use. 

* 2) Some systems may require editting the Makefiles in the 'source'
     directory  because some libraries might need to be added.  Lightbar's
     configuration script will automaticlly add libraries needed like 
     -lcrypt for SunOS etc. :-)

* 3) Edit 'include/config.h' for some tweeking of lightbar, these are
     compile time options that cannot be modified during runtime in the
     configuration file.

  4) Execute 'make' inside the top of the lightbar tree directory.  If
     lightbar compiles cleanly then you'll be ok.  If you get errors
     while compiling read the 'FAQ' file in the docs directory.

  5) Execute 'make install' inside the top of the lightbar tree directory.
     this will install necessary lightbar files into the necessary
     directories

  6) Edit '/etc/lb.conf' this is the lightbar configuration file make
     some necessary configurations such as if you're using shadowed
     passwords change the SystemType to "shadow" from "normal" from the
     lb.conf file you can make any adjustments to lightbar as you want.



Notes:

	Lightbar has undergone some major changes since 1.11, we've
remodelled most of the structure and eliminated some variables. We have
also made it so changing from "shadow" passwords to "normal" passwords
can be done just by changing a variable in /etc/lb.conf.  

	I've also redone and readded the FADEIN/OUT macro and made it
support more terminals than before using some terminal detections etc.
