1406 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1407 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1408 1a) Not yet removed program:
1409 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1411 1b) Removed directory:
1412 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1414 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1415 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1417 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1418 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1419 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1420 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1421 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1422 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1423 (however, I don't think it really works)
1424 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1425 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1427 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1428 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1429 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1430 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1431 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1432 4) Numerous other small changes.
1434 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1436 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1437 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1438 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1443 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1446 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1447 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1448 1) Removed programs:
1449 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1450 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1451 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1452 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1453 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1454 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1455 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1456 are encouraged to send patches.
1457 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1458 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1463 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1465 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1466 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1468 2) Removed programs:
1469 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1470 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1471 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1472 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1473 - clear: Included in ncurses
1474 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1477 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1478 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1479 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1480 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1481 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1482 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1486 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1487 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1488 ways to deal with this:
1489 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1490 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1491 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1492 simple if you know C.
1493 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1495 - Use some other rpcgen.
1499 This release was never made public
1501 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1503 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1504 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1505 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1506 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1507 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1508 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1509 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1510 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1511 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1512 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1513 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1516 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1517 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1518 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1519 not necessarily be fixed.
1524 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1526 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1527 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1529 1) Removed programs:
1530 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1531 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
1532 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1533 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1535 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1536 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1537 if you haven't already!
1538 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1540 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1541 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1544 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1545 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1546 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1547 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1548 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1549 hwclock now. Please.
1554 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1555 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1556 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1559 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1561 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1562 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1564 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1565 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1566 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1568 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1570 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1572 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1573 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1576 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1578 2) update_state has been removed
1579 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1580 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1582 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1584 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1585 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1586 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1587 /dev/audio if available
1588 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1589 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1590 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1591 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1592 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1595 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1596 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1597 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1598 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1599 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1600 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1601 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1603 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1604 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1605 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1606 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1607 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1608 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1609 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1611 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1612 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1613 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1614 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1615 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1616 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1617 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1618 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1619 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1620 12) frag removed. See
1621 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1623 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1624 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1625 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1626 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1627 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1628 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1629 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1630 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1631 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1632 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1636 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1637 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1638 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1640 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1641 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1642 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1643 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1644 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1645 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1646 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1648 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1649 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1650 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1651 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1654 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1656 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1657 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1658 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1659 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1660 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1661 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1663 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1801 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1802 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1803 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1804 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1805 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1806 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1807 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1808 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1809 which restores the -o semantics.
1811 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1812 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1813 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1814 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1815 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1816 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1817 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1818 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1819 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1820 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1821 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1822 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1823 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1826 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1827 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1829 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1830 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1831 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1832 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1833 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
