11 | WARNING: The simpleinit and some other programs in this package are |
12 | *NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant to be | |
13 | used by people who build their own systems. If you are not | |
6dbe3af9 KZ |
14 | a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could |
15 | prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy | |
fd6b7a7f KZ |
16 | ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing. It's a |
17 | great way to learn though ;-) | |

19 | To install from source: | |
20 | ||
21 | 1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations) | |
fd6b7a7f KZ |
22 | 2) Untar util-linux-2.7.tar.gz in /usr/src |
23 | 3) cd util-linux-2.7 | |
726f69e2 KZ |
24 | 4) Edit MCONFIG |
25 | 5) make | |
6dbe3af9 KZ |
26 | 6) make install |
27 | 7) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from | |
28 | /sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure | |
29 | that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V | |
30 | compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV | |
31 | init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those. | |

33 | HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7: |
34 | ||
35 | 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely | |
36 | converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap). | |
37 | ||
38 | 2) Removed progams: | |
39 | - clock: Dropped entierly. Use hwclock (included). | |
40 | - sync: is in gnu fileutils. | |
41 | - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends | |
42 | setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck) | |
43 | - clear: Included in ncurses | |
44 | - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils. | |
45 | ||
46 | 3) Bugfixes, additions: | |
47 | - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed. | |
48 | - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04. | |
49 | - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been | |
50 | plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself. | |
51 | - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha | |
52 | and sparc. | |
53 | ||
54 | 4) Problems.: | |
55 | - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as | |
56 | packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several | |
57 | ways to deal with this: | |
58 | - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included | |
59 | (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this. | |
60 | - Edit the source emited by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very | |
61 | simple if you know C. | |
62 | - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile | |
63 | to do this. | |
64 | - Use some other rpcgen | |
65 | ||
66 | util-linux 2.6.1 | |
67 | ||
68 | This release was never made public | |
69 | ||
70 | See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions. | |
71 | ||
72 | This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release | |
73 | will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs. | |
74 | - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel, | |
75 | ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more | |
76 | - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas. | |
77 | - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It | |
78 | should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and | |
79 | use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during | |
80 | the 1.3 phase of the kernel. | |
81 | - ipcs now displays the key of the structures. | |
82 | - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login. | |
83 | ||
84 | Outstanding bugs: | |
85 | - login/getty has a denial of service problem. | |
86 | - Several places needs a bit more polish. | |
87 | - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will | |
88 | not necesarily be fixed. | |
89 | ||

91 | util-linux 2.6 | |
92 | ||
93 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6: | |
94 | ||
95 | 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND | |
96 | UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no. | |
97 | ||
98 | 1) Removed programs: | |
99 | - md5sum: available in GNU textutils. | |
100 | - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at | |
101 | tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin | |
102 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons | |
103 | ||
104 | 2) Bugfixes, additions: | |
105 | - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW | |
106 | if you haven't already! | |
107 | - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and | |
108 | Arm patches). | |
109 | - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine | |
110 | - others too numerous to enumerate. | |
111 | ||
112 | 3) New programs: | |
113 | - vigr (it's like vipw) | |
114 | - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available | |
115 | clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k | |
116 | system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now | |
117 | obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using | |
118 | hwclock now. Please. | |
119 | ||
120 | ||
121 | util-linux 2.5 | |
726f69e2 KZ |
122 | |
123 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5: | |
124 | 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the | |
125 | help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik | |
126 | Faith). | |
127 | ||
128 | PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no | |
129 | ||
130 | 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date, | |
131 | canonical versions of these packages from the listed places: | |
132 | ||
133 | timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump): | |
134 | elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz | |
135 | elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz | |
136 | MAKEDEV-C: | |
137 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz | |
138 | MAKEDEV: | |
139 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz | |
140 | md5sum: | |
141 | prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz | |
142 | [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester | |
143 | version.] | |
144 | ksymoops: | |
145 | Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts. | |
146 | ||
147 | 2) update_state has been removed | |
148 | 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath | |
149 | <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of | |
150 | Andries Brouwer) | |
151 | 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved | |
152 | error reporting | |
153 | 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed | |
154 | 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution | |
155 | 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or | |
156 | /dev/audio if available | |
157 | 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches | |
158 | from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same | |
159 | locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh | |
160 | and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before | |
161 | updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells. | |
162 | ||
163 | ||
164 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released): | |
165 | 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer | |
166 | while Rik Faith is working on PhD work. | |
167 | 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty" | |
168 | 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences | |
169 | 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for | |
170 | this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other | |
171 | write. | |
172 | 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I | |
173 | had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable | |
174 | to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be | |
175 | releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition | |
176 | table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem. | |
177 | However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if | |
178 | this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as | |
179 | possible. | |
180 | 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no) | |
181 | 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin | |
182 | 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl) | |
183 | 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead. | |
184 | 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com> | |
185 | 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that | |
186 | Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan | |
187 | (quinlan@yggdrasil.com)) | |
188 | 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux | |
189 | 12) frag removed. See | |
190 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the | |
191 | latest version. | |
192 | 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan | |
193 | (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). | |
194 | 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions. | |
195 | 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make | |
196 | some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The | |
197 | ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic | |
198 | link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you | |
199 | are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The | |
200 | bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to | |
201 | the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries): | |
202 | ||
203 | New Old | |
204 | ||
205 | /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp | |
206 | /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog | |
207 | /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp | |
6dbe3af9 KZ |
208 | |
209 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2: | |
210 | 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1 | |
211 | 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper | |
212 | 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See | |
213 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources. | |
214 | For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of | |
215 | util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that | |
216 | directory. | |
217 | 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from: | |
218 | ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz | |
219 | sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz | |
220 | tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz | |
221 | ||
222 | ||
223 | HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1: | |
224 | ||
225 | 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who | |
226 | use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these | |
227 | things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make | |
228 | install" after you properly edit MCONFIG). | |
229 | 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives | |
230 | 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw, | |
231 | readprofile | |
232 | 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere: | |
233 | fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs* | |
234 | pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils* | |

368 | Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen | |
369 | Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that | |
370 | package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu), | |
371 | with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick | |
372 | Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie | |
373 | <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now | |
374 | supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added | |
375 | a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU) | |
376 | which restores the -o semantics. | |
377 | ||
378 | Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with | |
379 | extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be | |
380 | optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and | |
381 | Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when | |
382 | not using -t. Mitchum DSouza | |
383 | (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop | |
384 | device mounts. Sebastian Lederer | |
385 | (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an | |
386 | unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted. | |
387 | Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting | |
388 | readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff | |
389 | <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type | |
390 | before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up | |
391 | error reporting. | |

396 | historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett |
397 | <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree. | |
398 | Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these | |
399 | were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was | |
400 | modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey. | |
