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1359    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since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

1605 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1606
1607 bsd:
1608     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need
1609     this support:

1733     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1734     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1735     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1736     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1737     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1738     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1739     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1740     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1741     which restores the -o semantics.
1742
1743     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1744     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1745     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1746     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1747     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1748     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1749     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1750     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1751     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1752     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1753     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1754     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1755     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1756     error reporting.
1757
1758     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1759     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1761 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett

1763     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1764     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1765     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1801                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1802                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
