22 | To install from source: |
23 | ||
24 | 1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations) | |
2b6fc908 KZ |
25 | 2) Untar util-linux-2.8.tar.gz in /usr/src |
26 | 3) cd util-linux-2.8 | |
726f69e2 KZ |
27 | 4) Edit MCONFIG |
28 | 5) make | |
6dbe3af9 KZ |
29 | 6) make install |
30 | 7) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from | |
31 | /sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure | |
32 | that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V | |
33 | compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV | |
34 | init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those. | |

36 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8: |
37 | ||
38 | 0a) It's been way to long since the last release. My fault. | |
39 | 0b) NO PAM patches. | |
40 | 1) New programs: | |
41 | - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version. | |
42 | Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options. | |
43 | 1) Removed programs: | |
44 | - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils | |
45 | - frag: | |
46 | - lpcntl: This was removed in an earlier release (2.7) but I forgot to | |
47 | mention it. | |
48 | - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to | |
49 | work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl | |
50 | (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe) | |
51 | 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works | |
52 | a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5 | |
53 | and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware | |
54 | are encouraged to send patches. | |
55 | 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity | |
56 | 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB) | |
57 | 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no | |
58 | ||
59 | ||
60 | util-linux 2.7: | |
61 | ||
fd6b7a7f KZ |
62 | HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7: |
63 | ||
64 | 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely | |
65 | converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap). | |
66 | ||
67 | 2) Removed progams: | |
68 | - clock: Dropped entierly. Use hwclock (included). | |
69 | - sync: is in gnu fileutils. | |
70 | - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends | |
71 | setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck) | |
72 | - clear: Included in ncurses | |
73 | - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils. | |
74 | ||
75 | 3) Bugfixes, additions: | |
76 | - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed. | |
77 | - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04. | |
78 | - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been | |
79 | plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself. | |
80 | - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha | |
81 | and sparc. | |
82 | ||
2b6fc908 | 83 | 4) Problems: |
fd6b7a7f KZ |
84 | - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as |
85 | packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several | |
86 | ways to deal with this: | |
87 | - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included | |
88 | (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this. | |
89 | - Edit the source emited by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very | |
90 | simple if you know C. | |
91 | - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile | |
92 | to do this. | |
93 | - Use some other rpcgen | |
94 | ||
95 | util-linux 2.6.1 | |
96 | ||
97 | This release was never made public | |
98 | ||
99 | See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions. | |
100 | ||
101 | This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release | |
102 | will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs. | |
103 | - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel, | |
104 | ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more | |
105 | - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas. | |
106 | - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It | |
107 | should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and | |
108 | use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during | |
109 | the 1.3 phase of the kernel. | |
110 | - ipcs now displays the key of the structures. | |
111 | - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login. | |
112 | ||
113 | Outstanding bugs: | |
114 | - login/getty has a denial of service problem. | |
115 | - Several places needs a bit more polish. | |
116 | - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will | |
117 | not necesarily be fixed. | |
118 | ||

120 | util-linux 2.6 | |
121 | ||
122 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6: | |
123 | ||
124 | 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND | |
125 | UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no. | |
126 | ||
127 | 1) Removed programs: | |
128 | - md5sum: available in GNU textutils. | |
129 | - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at | |
130 | tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin | |
131 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons | |
132 | ||
133 | 2) Bugfixes, additions: | |
134 | - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW | |
135 | if you haven't already! | |
136 | - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and | |
137 | Arm patches). | |
138 | - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine | |
139 | - others too numerous to enumerate. | |
140 | ||
141 | 3) New programs: | |
142 | - vigr (it's like vipw) | |
143 | - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available | |
144 | clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k | |
145 | system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now | |
146 | obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using | |
147 | hwclock now. Please. | |
148 | ||
149 | ||
150 | util-linux 2.5 | |
726f69e2 KZ |
151 | |
152 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5: | |
153 | 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the | |
154 | help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik | |
155 | Faith). | |
156 | ||
157 | PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no | |
158 | ||
159 | 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date, | |
160 | canonical versions of these packages from the listed places: | |
161 | ||
162 | timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump): | |
163 | elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz | |
164 | elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz | |
165 | MAKEDEV-C: | |
166 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz | |
167 | MAKEDEV: | |
168 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz | |
169 | md5sum: | |
170 | prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz | |
171 | [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester | |
172 | version.] | |
173 | ksymoops: | |
174 | Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts. | |
175 | ||
176 | 2) update_state has been removed | |
177 | 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath | |
178 | <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of | |
179 | Andries Brouwer) | |
180 | 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved | |
181 | error reporting | |
182 | 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed | |
183 | 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution | |
184 | 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or | |
185 | /dev/audio if available | |
186 | 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches | |
187 | from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same | |
188 | locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh | |
189 | and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before | |
190 | updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells. | |
191 | ||
192 | ||
193 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released): | |
194 | 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer | |
195 | while Rik Faith is working on PhD work. | |
196 | 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty" | |
197 | 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences | |
198 | 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for | |
199 | this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other | |
200 | write. | |
201 | 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I | |
202 | had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable | |
203 | to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be | |
204 | releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition | |
205 | table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem. | |
206 | However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if | |
207 | this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as | |
208 | possible. | |
209 | 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no) | |
210 | 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin | |
211 | 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl) | |
212 | 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead. | |
213 | 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com> | |
214 | 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that | |
215 | Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan | |
216 | (quinlan@yggdrasil.com)) | |
217 | 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux | |
218 | 12) frag removed. See | |
219 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the | |
220 | latest version. | |
221 | 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan | |
222 | (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). | |
223 | 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions. | |
224 | 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make | |
225 | some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The | |
226 | ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic | |
227 | link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you | |
228 | are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The | |
229 | bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to | |
230 | the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries): | |
231 | ||
232 | New Old | |
233 | ||
234 | /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp | |
235 | /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog | |
236 | /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp | |
6dbe3af9 KZ |
237 | |
238 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2: | |
239 | 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1 | |
240 | 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper | |
241 | 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See | |
242 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources. | |
243 | For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of | |
244 | util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that | |
245 | directory. | |
246 | 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from: | |
247 | ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz | |
248 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz | |
249 | tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz | |
250 | ||
251 | ||
252 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1: | |
253 | ||
254 | 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who | |
255 | use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these | |
256 | things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make | |
257 | install" after you properly edit MCONFIG). | |
258 | 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives | |
259 | 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw, | |
260 | readprofile | |
261 | 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere: | |
262 | fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs* | |
263 | pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils* | |

397 | Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen | |
398 | Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that | |
399 | package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu), | |
400 | with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick | |
401 | Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie | |
402 | <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now | |
403 | supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added | |
404 | a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU) | |
405 | which restores the -o semantics. | |
406 | ||
407 | Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with | |
408 | extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be | |
409 | optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and | |
410 | Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when | |
411 | not using -t. Mitchum DSouza | |
412 | (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop | |
413 | device mounts. Sebastian Lederer | |
414 | (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an | |
415 | unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted. | |
416 | Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting | |
417 | readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff | |
418 | <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type | |
419 | before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up | |
420 | error reporting. | |

427 | Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these | |
428 | were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was | |
429 | modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey. | |
