1402 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1403 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1404 1a) Not yet removed program:
1405 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1407 1b) Removed directory:
1408 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1410 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1411 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1413 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1414 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1415 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1416 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1417 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1418 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1419 (however, I don't think it really works)
1420 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1421 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1423 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1424 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1425 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1426 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1427 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1428 4) Numerous other small changes.
1430 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1432 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1433 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1434 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1439 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1442 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1443 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1444 1) Removed programs:
1445 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1446 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1447 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1448 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1449 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1450 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1451 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1452 are encouraged to send patches.
1453 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1454 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1459 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1461 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1462 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1464 2) Removed programs:
1465 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1466 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1467 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1468 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1469 - clear: Included in ncurses
1470 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1473 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1474 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1475 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1476 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1477 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1478 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1482 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1483 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1484 ways to deal with this:
1485 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1486 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1487 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1488 simple if you know C.
1489 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1491 - Use some other rpcgen.
1495 This release was never made public
1497 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1499 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1500 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1501 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1502 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1503 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1504 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1505 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1506 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1507 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1508 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1509 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1512 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1513 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1514 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1515 not necessarily be fixed.
1520 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1522 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1523 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1525 1) Removed programs:
1526 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1527 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
1528 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1529 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1531 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1532 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1533 if you haven't already!
1534 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1536 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1537 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1540 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1541 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1542 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1543 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1544 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1545 hwclock now. Please.
1550 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1551 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1552 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik

1560 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1561 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1562 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1564 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1566 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1568 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1569 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1572 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1574 2) update_state has been removed
1575 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1576 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1578 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1580 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1581 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1582 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1583 /dev/audio if available
1584 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1585 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1586 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1587 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1588 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1591 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1592 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1593 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1594 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1595 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1596 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1597 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1599 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1600 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1601 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1602 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1603 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1604 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1605 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1607 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1608 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1609 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1610 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1611 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1612 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1613 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1614 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1615 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1616 12) frag removed. See
1617 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1619 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1620 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1621 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1622 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1623 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1624 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1625 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1626 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1627 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1628 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1632 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1633 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1634 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1636 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1637 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1638 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1639 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1640 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1641 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1642 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1644 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1645 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1646 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1647 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1650 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1652 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1653 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1654 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1655 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1656 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1657 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1659 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1795 mount, umount, swapon
1797 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1798 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1799 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1800 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1801 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1802 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1803 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1804 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1805 which restores the -o semantics.
1807 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1808 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1809 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1810 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1811 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1812 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1813 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1814 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1815 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1816 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1817 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1818 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1819 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1822 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1823 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1825 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1826 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1827 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1828 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1829 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.
