1331    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1332 1a) Not yet removed program:
1333    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1334      ugly man page).
1335 1b) Removed directory:
1336    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1337 2) Improvements:
1338    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1339    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1340      (i.e., uses locale)
1341    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1342    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1343    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1344    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1345    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1346    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1347      (however, I don't think it really works)
1348    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1349    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1350 3) Uglifications:
1351    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1352      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1353    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1354    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1355      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1356 4) Numerous other small changes.
1357
1358 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1359
1360 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1361 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1362 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1363 forwarded to Bryan.
1364
1365 util-linux 2.8:
1366
1367 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1368
1369 1) New programs:
1370    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1371      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1372 1) Removed programs:
1373    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1374    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1375                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1376                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1377 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1378    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1379    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1380    are encouraged to send patches.
1381 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1382 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1383
1384
1385 util-linux 2.7:
1386
1387 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1388
1389 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1390    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1391
1392 2) Removed programs:
1393    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1394    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1395    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1396         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1397    - clear: Included in ncurses
1398    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1399    - lpcntl.
1400
1401 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1402    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1403    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1404    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1405      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1406    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1407      and sparc.
1408
1409 4) Problems:
1410    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1411      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1412      ways to deal with this:
1413      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1414        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1415      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1416        simple if you know C.
1417      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1418        to do this.
1419      - Use some other rpcgen.
1420
1421 util-linux 2.6.1
1422
1423 This release was never made public
1424
1425 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1426
1427 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1428 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1429 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1430   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1431 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1432 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1433   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1434   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1435   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1436 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1437 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1438
1439 Outstanding bugs:
1440 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1441 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1442 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1443   not necessarily be fixed.
1444
1445
1446 util-linux 2.6
1447
1448 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1449
1450 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1451    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1452
1453 1) Removed programs:
1454    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1455    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1456         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1457         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1458
1459 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1460    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1461      if you haven't already!
1462    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1463      Arm patches).
1464    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1465    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1466
1467 3) New programs:
1468    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1469    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1470      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1471      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1472      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1473      hwclock now.  Please.
1474
1475
1476 util-linux 2.5
1477
1478 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1479 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1480    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1481    Faith).
1482
1483    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1484
1485 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1486    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1487
1488     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1489         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1490         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1491     MAKEDEV-C:
1492         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1493     MAKEDEV:
1494         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1495     md5sum:
1496         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1497         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1498         version.]
1499     ksymoops:
1500         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1501
1502 2) update_state has been removed
1503 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1504    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1505    Andries Brouwer)
1506 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1507    error reporting
1508 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1509 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1510 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1511    /dev/audio if available
1512 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1513    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1514    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1515    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1516    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1517
1518
1519 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1520 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1521    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1522 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1523 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1524 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1525    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1526    write.
1527 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1528    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1529    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1530    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1531    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1532    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1533    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1534    possible.
1535 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1536 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1537 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1538 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1539 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1540 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1541     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1542     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1543 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1544 12) frag removed.  See
1545     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1546     latest version.
1547 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1548     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1549 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1550 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1551     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1552     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1553     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1554     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1555     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1556     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1557
1558              New                 Old
1559
1560         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1561         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1562         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1563
1564 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1565 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1566 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1567 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1568    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1569    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1570    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1571    directory.
1572 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1573     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1574     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1575     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1576
1577
1578 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1579
1580 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1581    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1582    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1583    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1584 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1585 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1586    readprofile
1587 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1588     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1589     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1597 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1598
1599 bsd:
1600     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need

1725     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1726     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1727     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1728     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1729     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1730     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1731     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1732     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1733     which restores the -o semantics.
1734
1735     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1736     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1737     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1738     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1739     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1740     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1741     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1742     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1743     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1744     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1745     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1746     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1747     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1748     error reporting.
1749
1750     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1751     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1753 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1754     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1755     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1756     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1757     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1794                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
