848 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
851 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
852 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
853 1a) Not yet removed program:
854 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
856 1b) Removed directory:
857 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
859 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
860 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
862 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
863 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
864 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
865 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
866 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
867 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
868 (however, I don't think it really works)
869 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
870 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
872 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
873 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
874 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
875 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
876 work under DOS. (Untested.)
877 4) Numerous other small changes.
879 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
881 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
882 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
883 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
888 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
891 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
892 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
894 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
895 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
896 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
897 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
898 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
899 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
900 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
901 are encouraged to send patches.
902 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
903 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
908 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
910 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
911 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
914 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
915 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
916 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
917 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
918 - clear: Included in ncurses
919 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
922 3) Bugfixes, additions:
923 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
924 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
925 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
926 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
927 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
931 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
932 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
933 ways to deal with this:
934 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
935 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
936 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
937 simple if you know C.
938 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
940 - Use some other rpcgen.
944 This release was never made public
946 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
948 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
949 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
950 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
951 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
952 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
953 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
954 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
955 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
956 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
957 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
958 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
961 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
962 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
963 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
964 not necesarily be fixed.
969 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
971 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
972 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
975 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
976 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at
977 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
978 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
980 2) Bugfixes, additions:
981 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
982 if you haven't already!
983 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
985 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
986 - others too numerous to enumerate.
989 - vigr (it's like vipw)
990 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
991 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
992 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
993 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
999 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1000 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1001 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1004 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1006 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1007 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1009 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1010 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1011 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1013 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1015 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1017 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1018 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1021 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1023 2) update_state has been removed
1024 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1025 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1027 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1029 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1030 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1031 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1032 /dev/audio if available
1033 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1034 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1035 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1036 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1037 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1040 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1041 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1042 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1043 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1044 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1045 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1046 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1048 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1049 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1050 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1051 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1052 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1053 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1054 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1056 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1057 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1058 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1059 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1060 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1061 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1062 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1063 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1064 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1065 12) frag removed. See
1066 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1068 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1069 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1070 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1071 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1072 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1073 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1074 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1075 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1076 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1077 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1081 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1082 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1083 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1085 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1086 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1087 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1088 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1089 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1090 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1091 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1093 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1094 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1095 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1096 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1099 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1101 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1102 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1103 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1104 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1105 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1106 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1108 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1246 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1247 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1248 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1249 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1250 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1251 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1252 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1253 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1254 which restores the -o semantics.
1256 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1257 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1258 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1259 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1260 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1261 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1262 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1263 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1264 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1265 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1266 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1267 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1268 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1271 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1272 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1274 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1275 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1276 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1277 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1278 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
