1273 util-linux 2.9:
1274
1275 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1276
1277 1) Removed programs:
1278    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1279    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1280 1a) Not yet removed program:
1281    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1282      ugly man page).
1283 1b) Removed directory:
1284    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1285 2) Improvements:
1286    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1287    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1288      (i.e., uses locale)
1289    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1290    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1291    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1292    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1293    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1294    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1295      (however, I don't think it really works)
1296    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1297    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1298 3) Uglifications:
1299    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1300      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1301    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1302    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1303      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1304 4) Numerous other small changes.
1305
1306 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1307
1308 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1309 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1310 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1311 forwarded to Bryan.
1312
1313 util-linux 2.8:
1314
1315 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1316
1317 1) New programs:
1318    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1319      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1320 1) Removed programs:
1321    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1322    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1323                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1324                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1325 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1326    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1327    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1328    are encouraged to send patches.
1329 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1330 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1331
1332
1333 util-linux 2.7:
1334
1335 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1336
1337 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1338    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1339
1340 2) Removed progams:
1341    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1342    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1343    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1344         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1345    - clear: Included in ncurses
1346    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1347    - lpcntl.
1348
1349 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1350    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1351    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1352    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1353      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1354    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1355      and sparc.
1356
1357 4) Problems:
1358    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1359      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1360      ways to deal with this:
1361      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1362        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1363      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1364        simple if you know C.
1365      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1366        to do this.
1367      - Use some other rpcgen.

1369 util-linux 2.6.1
1370
1371 This release was never made public
1372
1373 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1374
1375 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1376 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1377 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1378   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1379 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1380 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1381   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1382   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1383   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1384 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1385 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1386
1387 Outstanding bugs:
1388 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1389 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1390 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1391   not necessarily be fixed.

1394 util-linux 2.6
1395
1396 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1397
1398 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1399    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1400
1401 1) Removed programs:
1402    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1403    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1404         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1405         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1406
1407 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1408    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1409      if you haven't already!
1410    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1411      Arm patches).
1412    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1413    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1414
1415 3) New programs:
1416    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1417    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1418      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1419      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1420      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1421      hwclock now.  Please.
1422
1423
1424 util-linux 2.5
1425
1426 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1427 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1428    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1429    Faith).
1430
1431    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1432
1433 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1434    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1435
1436     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1437         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1438         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1439     MAKEDEV-C:
1440         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1441     MAKEDEV:
1442         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1443     md5sum:
1444         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1445         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1446         version.]
1447     ksymoops:
1448         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1449
1450 2) update_state has been removed
1451 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1452    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1453    Andries Brouwer)
1454 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1455    error reporting
1456 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1457 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1458 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1459    /dev/audio if available
1460 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1461    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1462    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1463    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1464    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1465
1466
1467 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1468 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1469    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1470 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1471 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1472 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1473    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1474    write.
1475 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1476    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1477    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1478    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1479    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1480    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1481    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1482    possible.
1483 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1484 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1485 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1486 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1487 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1488 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1489     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1490     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1491 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1492 12) frag removed.  See
1493     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1494     latest version.
1495 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1496     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1497 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1498 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1499     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1500     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1501     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1502     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1503     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1504     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1505
1506              New                 Old
1507
1508         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1509         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1510         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1511
1512 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1513 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1514 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1515 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1516    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1517    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1518    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1519    directory.
1520 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1521     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1522     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1523     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1524
1525
1526 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1527
1528 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1529    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1530    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1531    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1532 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1533 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1534    readprofile
1535 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1536     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1537     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1673     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1674     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1675     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1676     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1677     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1678     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1679     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1680     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1681     which restores the -o semantics.
1682
1683     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1684     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1685     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1686     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1687     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1688     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1689     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1690     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1691     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1692     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1693     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1694     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1695     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1696     error reporting.
1697
1698     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1699     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1701 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1702     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1703     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1704     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1705     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1741                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1742                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
