1386 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1387 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1388 1a) Not yet removed program:
1389 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1391 1b) Removed directory:
1392 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1394 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1395 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1397 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1398 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1399 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1400 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1401 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1402 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1403 (however, I don't think it really works)
1404 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1405 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1407 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1408 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1409 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1410 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1411 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1412 4) Numerous other small changes.
1414 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1416 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1417 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1418 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1423 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1426 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1427 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1428 1) Removed programs:
1429 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1430 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1431 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1432 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1433 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1434 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1435 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1436 are encouraged to send patches.
1437 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1438 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1443 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1445 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1446 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1448 2) Removed programs:
1449 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1450 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1451 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1452 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1453 - clear: Included in ncurses
1454 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1457 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1458 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1459 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1460 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1461 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1462 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1466 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1467 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1468 ways to deal with this:
1469 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1470 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1471 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1472 simple if you know C.
1473 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1475 - Use some other rpcgen.
1479 This release was never made public
1481 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1483 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1484 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1485 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1486 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1487 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1488 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1489 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1490 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1491 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1492 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1493 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1496 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1497 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1498 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1499 not necessarily be fixed.
1504 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1506 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1507 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.

1512 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1513 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1515 2) Bugfixes, additions:

1518 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1520 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1521 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1524 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1525 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1526 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1527 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1528 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1529 hwclock now. Please.
1534 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1535 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1536 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik

1566 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1567 /dev/audio if available
1568 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1569 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1570 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1571 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1572 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1575 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1576 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1577 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1578 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1579 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1580 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1581 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1583 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1584 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1585 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1586 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1587 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1588 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1589 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1591 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1592 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1593 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1594 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1595 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1596 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1597 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1598 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1599 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1600 12) frag removed. See
1601 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1603 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1604 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1605 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1606 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1607 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1608 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1609 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1610 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1611 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1612 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1616 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1617 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1618 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1620 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1621 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1622 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1623 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1624 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1625 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1626 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1628 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1629 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1630 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1631 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1634 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1636 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1637 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1638 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1639 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1640 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1641 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1643 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1781 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1782 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1783 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1784 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1785 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1786 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1787 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1788 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1789 which restores the -o semantics.
1791 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1792 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1793 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1794 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1795 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1796 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1797 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1798 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1799 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1800 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1801 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1802 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1803 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1806 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1807 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1809 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1810 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1811 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1812 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1813 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
