NAME
gnuplotconfig - interactive gnuplot configuration script
SYNOPSIS
gnuplotconfig
DESCRIPTION
The gnuplotconfig script provides an interactive way to configure the suid bit of the gnuplot(1) binary. It asks you some questions, give you a hint if needed, and enters your choice to /etc/gnuplot.conf file.
When upgrading the debian gnuplot package, the suid bit information stored in /etc/gnuplot.conf is used to tell the new gnuplot binary to keep your old suid bit settings.
The script makes use of the suidmanager debian package, if it is installed. If the script cannot find it, it manipulates the suid bit directly via `chmod u+s' command.
NOTE
This script was written exclusively for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. It is not a part of the upstream gnuplot sources.
