1338      ugly man page).

1341 2) Improvements:
1342    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1343    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1344      (i.e., uses locale)
1345    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1346    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1347    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1348    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1349    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1350    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1351      (however, I don't think it really works)
1352    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1353    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1354 3) Uglifications:
1355    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1356      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1357    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1358    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1359      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1360 4) Numerous other small changes.
1361
1362 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1363
1364 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1365 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1366 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1367 forwarded to Bryan.
1368
1369 util-linux 2.8:
1370
1371 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1372
1373 1) New programs:
1374    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1375      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1376 1) Removed programs:
1377    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1378    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1379                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1380                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1381 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1382    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1383    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1384    are encouraged to send patches.
1385 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1386 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1387
1388
1389 util-linux 2.7:
1390
1391 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1392
1393 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1394    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1395
1396 2) Removed programs:
1397    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1398    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1399    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1400         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1401    - clear: Included in ncurses
1402    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1403    - lpcntl.
1404
1405 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1406    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1407    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1408    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1409      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1410    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1411      and sparc.
1412
1413 4) Problems:
1414    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1415      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1416      ways to deal with this:
1417      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1418        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1419      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1420        simple if you know C.
1421      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1422        to do this.
1423      - Use some other rpcgen.
1424
1425 util-linux 2.6.1
1426
1427 This release was never made public
1428
1429 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1430
1431 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1432 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1433 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1434   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1435 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1436 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1437   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1438   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1439   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1440 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1441 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1442
1443 Outstanding bugs:
1444 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1445 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1446 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1447   not necessarily be fixed.
1448
1449
1450 util-linux 2.6
1451
1452 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1453
1454 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1455    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1456
1457 1) Removed programs:
1458    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1459    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1460         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1461         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1462
1463 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1464    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1465      if you haven't already!
1466    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1467      Arm patches).
1468    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1469    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1470
1471 3) New programs:
1472    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1473    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1474      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1475      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1476      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1477      hwclock now.  Please.
1478
1479
1480 util-linux 2.5
1481
1482 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1483 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1484    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1485    Faith).
1486
1487    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1488
1489 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1490    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1491
1492     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1493         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1494         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1495     MAKEDEV-C:
1496         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1497     MAKEDEV:
1498         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1499     md5sum:
1500         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1501         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1502         version.]
1503     ksymoops:
1504         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1505
1506 2) update_state has been removed
1507 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1508    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1509    Andries Brouwer)
1510 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1511    error reporting
1512 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1513 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1514 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1515    /dev/audio if available
1516 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1517    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1518    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1519    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1520    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1521
1522
1523 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1524 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1525    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1526 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1527 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1528 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1529    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1530    write.
1531 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1532    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1533    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1534    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1535    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1536    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1537    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1538    possible.
1539 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1540 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1541 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1542 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1543 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1544 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1545     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1546     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1547 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1548 12) frag removed.  See
1549     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1550     latest version.
1551 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1552     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1553 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1554 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1555     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1556     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1557     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1558     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1559     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1560     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1561
1562              New                 Old
1563
1564         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1565         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1566         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1567
1568 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1569 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1570 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1571 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1572    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1573    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1574    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1575    directory.
1576 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1577     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1578     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1579     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1580
1581
1582 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1583
1584 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1585    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1586    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1587    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1588 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1589 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1590    readprofile
1591 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1592     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1593     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1601 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1602
1603 bsd:
1604     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need

1729     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1730     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1731     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1732     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1733     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1734     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1735     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1736     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1737     which restores the -o semantics.
1738
1739     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1740     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1741     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1742     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1743     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1744     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1745     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1746     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1747     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1748     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1749     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1750     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1751     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1752     error reporting.
1753
1754     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1755     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1757 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1758     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1759     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1760     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1761     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1796                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1797                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1798                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
