1342    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1343    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1344 1a) Not yet removed program:
1345    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1346      ugly man page).
1347 1b) Removed directory:
1348    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1349 2) Improvements:
1350    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1351    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1352      (i.e., uses locale)
1353    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1354    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1355    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1356    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1357    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1358    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1359      (however, I don't think it really works)
1360    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1361    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1362 3) Uglifications:
1363    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1364      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1365    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1366    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1367      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1368 4) Numerous other small changes.
1369
1370 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1371
1372 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1373 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1374 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1375 forwarded to Bryan.
1376
1377 util-linux 2.8:
1378
1379 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1380
1381 1) New programs:
1382    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1383      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1384 1) Removed programs:
1385    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1386    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1387                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1388                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1389 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1390    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1391    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1392    are encouraged to send patches.
1393 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1394 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1395
1396
1397 util-linux 2.7:
1398
1399 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1400
1401 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1402    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1403
1404 2) Removed programs:
1405    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1406    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1407    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1408         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1409    - clear: Included in ncurses
1410    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1411    - lpcntl.
1412
1413 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1414    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1415    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1416    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1417      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1418    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1419      and sparc.
1420
1421 4) Problems:
1422    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1423      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1424      ways to deal with this:
1425      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1426        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1427      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1428        simple if you know C.
1429      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1430        to do this.
1431      - Use some other rpcgen.
1432
1433 util-linux 2.6.1
1434
1435 This release was never made public
1436
1437 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1438
1439 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1440 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1441 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1442   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1443 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1444 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1445   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1446   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1447   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1448 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1449 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1450
1451 Outstanding bugs:
1452 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1453 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1454 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1455   not necessarily be fixed.
1456
1457
1458 util-linux 2.6
1459
1460 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1461
1462 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1463    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1464
1465 1) Removed programs:
1466    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1467    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1468         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1469         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1470
1471 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1472    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1473      if you haven't already!
1474    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1475      Arm patches).
1476    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1477    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1478
1479 3) New programs:
1480    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1481    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1482      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1483      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1484      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1485      hwclock now.  Please.
1486
1487
1488 util-linux 2.5
1489
1490 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1491 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1492    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1493    Faith).
1494
1495    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1496
1497 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1498    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1499
1500     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1501         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1502         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1503     MAKEDEV-C:
1504         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1505     MAKEDEV:
1506         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1507     md5sum:
1508         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1509         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1510         version.]
1511     ksymoops:
1512         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1513
1514 2) update_state has been removed
1515 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1516    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1517    Andries Brouwer)
1518 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1519    error reporting
1520 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1521 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1522 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1523    /dev/audio if available
1524 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1525    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1526    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1527    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1528    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1529
1530
1531 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1532 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1533    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1534 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1535 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1536 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1537    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1538    write.
1539 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1540    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1541    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1542    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1543    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1544    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1545    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1546    possible.
1547 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1548 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1549 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1550 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1551 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1552 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1553     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1554     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1555 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1556 12) frag removed.  See
1557     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1558     latest version.
1559 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1560     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1561 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1562 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1563     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1564     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1565     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1566     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1567     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1568     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1569
1570              New                 Old
1571
1572         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1573         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1574         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1575
1576 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1577 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1578 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1579 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1580    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1581    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1582    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1583    directory.
1584 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1585     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1586     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1587     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1588
1589
1590 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1591
1592 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1593    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1594    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1595    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1596 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1597 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1598    readprofile
1599 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1600     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1601     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1609 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1610
1611 bsd:
1612     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need
1613     this support:

1737     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1738     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1739     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1740     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1741     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1742     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1743     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1744     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1745     which restores the -o semantics.
1746
1747     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1748     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1749     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1750     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1751     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1752     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1753     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1754     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1755     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1756     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1757     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1758     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1759     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1760     error reporting.
1761
1762     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1763     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1765 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1766     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1767     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1768     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1769     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1805                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1806                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
