698 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
701 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
702 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
703 1a) Not yet removed program:
704 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
706 1b) Removed directory:
707 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
709 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
710 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
712 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
713 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
714 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
715 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
716 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
717 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
718 (however, I don't think it really works)
719 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
720 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
722 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
723 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
724 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
725 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
726 work under DOS. (Untested.)
727 4) Numerous other small changes.
729 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
731 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
732 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
733 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
738 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
741 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
742 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
744 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
745 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
746 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
747 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
748 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
749 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
750 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
751 are encouraged to send patches.
752 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
753 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
758 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
760 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
761 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
764 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
765 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
766 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
767 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
768 - clear: Included in ncurses
769 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
772 3) Bugfixes, additions:
773 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
774 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
775 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
776 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
777 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
781 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
782 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
783 ways to deal with this:
784 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
785 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
786 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
787 simple if you know C.
788 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
790 - Use some other rpcgen.
794 This release was never made public
796 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
798 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
799 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
800 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
801 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
802 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
803 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
804 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
805 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
806 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
807 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
808 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
811 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
812 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
813 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
814 not necesarily be fixed.
819 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
821 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
822 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
825 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
826 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at
827 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
828 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
830 2) Bugfixes, additions:
831 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
832 if you haven't already!
833 - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
835 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
836 - others too numerous to enumerate.
839 - vigr (it's like vipw)
840 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
841 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
842 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
843 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
849 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
850 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
851 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
854 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
856 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
857 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
859 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
860 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
861 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
863 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
865 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
867 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
868 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
871 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
873 2) update_state has been removed
874 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
875 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
877 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
879 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
880 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
881 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
882 /dev/audio if available
883 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
884 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
885 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
886 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
887 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
890 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
891 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
892 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
893 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
894 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
895 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
896 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
898 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
899 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
900 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
901 releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
902 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
903 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
904 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
906 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
907 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
908 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
909 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
910 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
911 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
912 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
913 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
914 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
915 12) frag removed. See
916 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
918 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
919 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
920 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
921 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
922 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
923 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
924 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
925 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
926 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
927 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
931 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
932 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
933 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
935 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
936 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
937 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
938 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
939 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
940 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
941 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
943 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
944 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
945 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
946 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
949 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
951 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
952 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
953 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
954 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
955 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
956 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
958 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1094 mount, umount, swapon
1096 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1097 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1098 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1099 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1100 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1101 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1102 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1103 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1104 which restores the -o semantics.

1127 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1128 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
