13WARNING: The simpleinit and some other programs in this package are
14 *NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant to be
15 used by people who build their own systems. If you are not
6dbe3af9
KZ
16 a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could
17 prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy
fd6b7a7f

18 ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing. It's a
19 great way to learn though ;-)

22To install from source:
23
241) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
2b6fc908
KZ
252) Untar util-linux-2.8.tar.gz in /usr/src
263) cd util-linux-2.8
726f69e2
KZ
274) Edit MCONFIG
285) make
6dbe3af9
KZ
296) make install
307) 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.

36HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
37
380a) It's been way to long since the last release. My fault.
390b) NO PAM patches.
401) New programs:
41 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
42 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
431) 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)
512) 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.
553) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
564) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
570xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no

60util-linux 2.7:
61
fd6b7a7f
KZ
62HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
63
641) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
65 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
66
672) 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
753) 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 834) 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
95util-linux 2.6.1
96
97This release was never made public
98
99See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
100
101This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
102will 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
113Outstanding 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.

120util-linux 2.6
121
122HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
123
1240) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
125 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
126
1271) 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
1332) 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
1413) 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.

150util-linux 2.5
726f69e2
KZ
151
152HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1530) 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
1591) 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
1762) update_state has been removed
1773) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
178 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
179 Andries Brouwer)
1804) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
181 error reporting
1825) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1836) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1847) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
185 /dev/audio if available
1868) 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
193HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1940) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
195 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1961) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1972) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1983) 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.
2014) 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.
2095) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
2106) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
2117) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
2128) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
2139) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
21410) 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))
21711) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
21812) frag removed. See
219 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
220 latest version.
22113) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
222 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
22314) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
22415) 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
238HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
2391) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
2402) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
2413) 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.
2464) 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
252HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
253
2541) 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).
2582) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
2593) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
260 readprofile
2614) 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*

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.

425historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
426 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
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.
