1323 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1324
1325 1) Removed programs:
1326    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1327    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1328 1a) Not yet removed program:
1329    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1330      ugly man page).
1331 1b) Removed directory:
1332    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1333 2) Improvements:
1334    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1335    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1336      (i.e., uses locale)
1337    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1338    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1339    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1340    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1341    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1342    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1343      (however, I don't think it really works)
1344    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1345    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1346 3) Uglifications:
1347    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1348      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1349    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1350    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1351      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1352 4) Numerous other small changes.
1353
1354 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1355
1356 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1357 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1358 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1359 forwarded to Bryan.
1360
1361 util-linux 2.8:
1362
1363 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1364
1365 1) New programs:
1366    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1367      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1368 1) Removed programs:
1369    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1370    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1371                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1372                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1373 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1374    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1375    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1376    are encouraged to send patches.
1377 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1378 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1379
1380
1381 util-linux 2.7:
1382
1383 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1384
1385 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1386    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1387
1388 2) Removed programs:
1389    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1390    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1391    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1392         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1393    - clear: Included in ncurses
1394    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1395    - lpcntl.
1396
1397 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1398    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1399    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1400    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1401      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1402    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1403      and sparc.
1404
1405 4) Problems:
1406    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1407      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1408      ways to deal with this:
1409      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1410        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1411      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1412        simple if you know C.
1413      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1414        to do this.
1415      - Use some other rpcgen.
1416
1417 util-linux 2.6.1
1418
1419 This release was never made public
1420
1421 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1422
1423 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1424 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1425 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1426   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1427 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1428 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1429   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1430   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1431   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1432 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1433 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1434
1435 Outstanding bugs:
1436 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1437 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1438 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1439   not necessarily be fixed.
1440
1441
1442 util-linux 2.6
1443
1444 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1445
1446 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1447    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1448
1449 1) Removed programs:
1450    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1451    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1452         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1453         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1454
1455 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1456    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1457      if you haven't already!
1458    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1459      Arm patches).
1460    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1461    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1462
1463 3) New programs:
1464    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1465    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1466      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1467      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1468      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1469      hwclock now.  Please.
1470
1471
1472 util-linux 2.5
1473
1474 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1475 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1476    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1477    Faith).
1478
1479    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1480
1481 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1482    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1483
1484     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1485         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1486         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1487     MAKEDEV-C:
1488         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1489     MAKEDEV:
1490         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1491     md5sum:
1492         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1493         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1494         version.]
1495     ksymoops:
1496         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1497
1498 2) update_state has been removed
1499 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1500    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1501    Andries Brouwer)
1502 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1503    error reporting
1504 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1505 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1506 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1507    /dev/audio if available
1508 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1509    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1510    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1511    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1512    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1513
1514
1515 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1516 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1517    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1518 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1519 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1520 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1521    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1522    write.
1523 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1524    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1525    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1526    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1527    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1528    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1529    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1530    possible.
1531 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1532 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1533 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1534 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1535 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1536 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1537     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1538     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1539 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1540 12) frag removed.  See
1541     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1542     latest version.
1543 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1544     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1545 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1546 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1547     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1548     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1549     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1550     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1551     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1552     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1553
1554              New                 Old
1555
1556         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1557         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1558         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1559
1560 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1561 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1562 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1563 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1564    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1565    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1566    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1567    directory.
1568 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1569     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1570     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1571     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1572
1573
1574 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1575
1576 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1577    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1578    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1579    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1580 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1581 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1582    readprofile
1583 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1584     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1585     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1593 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1594
1595 bsd:
1596     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need

1721     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1722     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1723     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1724     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1725     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1726     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1727     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1728     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1729     which restores the -o semantics.
1730
1731     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1732     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1733     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1734     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1735     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1736     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1737     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1738     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1739     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1740     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1741     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1742     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1743     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1744     error reporting.
1745
1746     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1747     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1749 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1750     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1751     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1752     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1753     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1789                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1790                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
