1180
1181 util-linux 2.9:
1182
1183 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1184
1185 1) Removed programs:
1186    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1187    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1188 1a) Not yet removed program:
1189    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1190      ugly man page).
1191 1b) Removed directory:
1192    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1193 2) Improvements:
1194    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1195    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1196      (i.e., uses locale)
1197    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1198    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1199    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1200    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1201    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1202    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1203      (however, I don't think it really works)
1204    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1205    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1206 3) Uglifications:
1207    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1208      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1209    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1210    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1211      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1212 4) Numerous other small changes.
1213
1214 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1215
1216 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1217 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1218 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1219 forwarded to Bryan.
1220
1221 util-linux 2.8:
1222
1223 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1224
1225 1) New programs:
1226    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1227      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1228 1) Removed programs:
1229    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1230    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1231                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1232                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1233 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1234    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1235    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1236    are encouraged to send patches.
1237 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1238 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1239
1240
1241 util-linux 2.7:
1242
1243 HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1244
1245 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1246    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1247
1248 2) Removed progams:
1249    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1250    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1251    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1252         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1253    - clear: Included in ncurses
1254    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1255    - lpcntl.
1256
1257 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1258    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1259    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1260    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1261      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1262    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1263      and sparc.
1264
1265 4) Problems:
1266    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1267      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1268      ways to deal with this:
1269      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1270        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1271      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1272        simple if you know C.
1273      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1274        to do this.
1275      - Use some other rpcgen.
1276
1277 util-linux 2.6.1
1278
1279 This release was never made public
1280
1281 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1282
1283 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1284 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1285 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1286   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1287 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1288 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1289   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1290   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1291   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1292 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1293 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1294
1295 Outstanding bugs:
1296 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1297 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1298 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1299   not necesarily be fixed.

1302 util-linux 2.6
1303
1304 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1305
1306 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1307    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1308
1309 1) Removed programs:
1310    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1311    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered.  It is available at
1312         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1313         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1314
1315 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1316    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1317      if you haven't already!
1318    - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1319      Arm patches).
1320    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1321    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1322
1323 3) New programs:
1324    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1325    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1326      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1327      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1328      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1329      hwclock now.  Please.
1330
1331
1332 util-linux 2.5
1333
1334 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1335 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1336    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1337    Faith).
1338
1339    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1340
1341 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1342    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1343
1344     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1345         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1346         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1347     MAKEDEV-C:
1348         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1349     MAKEDEV:
1350         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1351     md5sum:
1352         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1353         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1354         version.]
1355     ksymoops:
1356         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1357
1358 2) update_state has been removed
1359 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1360    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1361    Andries Brouwer)
1362 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1363    error reporting
1364 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1365 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1366 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1367    /dev/audio if available
1368 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1369    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1370    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1371    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1372    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1373
1374
1375 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1376 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1377    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1378 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1379 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1380 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1381    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1382    write.
1383 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1384    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1385    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1386    releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1387    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1388    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1389    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1390    possible.
1391 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1392 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1393 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1394 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1395 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1396 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1397     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1398     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1399 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1400 12) frag removed.  See
1401     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1402     latest version.
1403 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1404     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1405 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1406 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1407     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1408     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1409     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1410     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1411     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1412     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1413
1414              New                 Old
1415
1416         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1417         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1418         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1419
1420 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1421 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1422 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1423 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1424    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1425    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1426    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1427    directory.
1428 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1429     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1430     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1431     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1432
1433
1434 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1435
1436 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1437    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1438    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1439    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1440 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1441 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1442    readprofile
1443 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:

1581     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1582     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1583     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1584     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1585     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1586     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1587     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1588     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1589     which restores the -o semantics.
1590
1591     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1592     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1593     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1594     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1595     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1596     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1597     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1598     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1599     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1600     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1601     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1602     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1603     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1604     error reporting.
1605
1606     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1607     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1611     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1612     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
