1335 * added a sentence to swapon.8
1336 * behavior of write on non-ASCII fixed
1337 * hwclock adapted to survive a failing mktime()
1338
1339 util-linux 2.9a:
1340
1341 * added an include to lib/my_reboot.c so that __GLIBC__ is defined
1342 * added setlocale() to login-utils/chfn.c
1343 * do not recompute MAIL in login-utils/login.c
1344
1345 util-linux 2.9:
1346
1347 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1348
1349 1) Removed programs:
1350    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1351    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1352 1a) Not yet removed program:
1353    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1354      ugly man page).
1355 1b) Removed directory:
1356    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1357 2) Improvements:
1358    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1359    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1360      (i.e., uses locale)
1361    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1362    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1363    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1364    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1365    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1366    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1367      (however, I don't think it really works)
1368    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1369    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1370 3) Uglifications:
1371    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1372      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1373    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1374    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1375      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1376 4) Numerous other small changes.
1377
1378 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1379
1380 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1381 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1382 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others.  Hwclock stuff is
1383 forwarded to Bryan.
1384
1385 util-linux 2.8:
1386
1387 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1388
1389 1) New programs:
1390    - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1391      Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1392 1) Removed programs:
1393    - chroot: is no longer in util-linux.  Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1394    - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1395                 work.  Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1396                 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1397 2) Various portability enhancements.  Among other things hwclock now works
1398    a lot better on non Intel architectures.  Should compile with libc 4, 5
1399    and 6 as well as old and recent kernels.  People using non-intel hardware
1400    are encouraged to send patches.
1401 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1402 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1403
1404
1405 util-linux 2.7:
1406
1407 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1408
1409 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses.  Several programs are completely
1410    converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1411
1412 2) Removed programs:
1413    - clock: Dropped entirely.  Use hwclock (included).
1414    - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1415    - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1416         setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1417    - clear: Included in ncurses
1418    - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1419    - lpcntl.
1420
1421 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1422    - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1423    - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1424    - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1425      plugged.  UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1426    - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1427      and sparc.
1428
1429 4) Problems:
1430    - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken.  At least as
1431      packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6).  There are several
1432      ways to deal with this:
1433      - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1434        (nfsmount_xdr.c).  You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1435      - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile.  This is very
1436        simple if you know C.
1437      - Disable the NFS parts of mount.  You have to edit mount/Makefile
1438        to do this.
1439      - Use some other rpcgen.
1440
1441 util-linux 2.6.1
1442
1443 This release was never made public
1444
1445 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1446
1447 This is a incremental release containing some fixes.  A new release
1448 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1449 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1450   ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1451 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1452 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty.  It
1453   should be fixed.  If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1454   use it to make new tty devices.  They were renumbered sometime during
1455   the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1456 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1457 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1458
1459 Outstanding bugs:
1460 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1461 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1462 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount.  This will
1463   not necessarily be fixed.
1464
1465
1466 util-linux 2.6
1467
1468 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1469
1470 0) The first release with me at the helm.  PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1471    UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1472
1473 1) Removed programs:
1474    - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1475    - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred.  It is available at
1476         tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1477         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1478
1479 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1480    - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed.  UPGRADE NOW
1481      if you haven't already!
1482    - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1483      Arm patches).
1484    - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1485    - others too numerous to enumerate.
1486
1487 3) New programs:
1488    - vigr (it's like vipw)
1489    - Introducing hwclock.  A complete rewrite of the latest available
1490      clock source.  It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1491      system clock interfaces.  Clock supports the same things but is now
1492      obsolete and will not be present in the next release.  Start using
1493      hwclock now.  Please.
1494
1495
1496 util-linux 2.5
1497
1498 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1499 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1500    help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1501    Faith).
1502
1503    PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1504
1505 1) The following packages have been removed.  Please use the up-to-date,
1506    canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1507
1508     timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1509         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1510         elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1511     MAKEDEV-C:
1512         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1513     MAKEDEV:
1514         sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1515     md5sum:
1516         prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1517         [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1518         version.]
1519     ksymoops:
1520         Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1521
1522 2) update_state has been removed
1523 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1524    <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1525    Andries Brouwer)
1526 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1527    error reporting
1528 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1529 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1530 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1531    /dev/audio if available
1532 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1533    from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>.  Now, they all use the same
1534    locking, and several security holes have been patched.  Further, chsh
1535    and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1536    updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1537
1538
1539 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1540 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1541    while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1542 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1543 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1544 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty".  If util-linux is compiled for
1545    this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1546    write.
1547 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c.  Although I
1548    had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1549    to reproduce any of the problems.  Some of the problems appeared to be
1550    related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1551    table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1552    However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1553    this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1554    possible.
1555 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1556 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1557 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1558 8) lpcntl removed.  Use tunelp instead.
1559 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1560 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1561     Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1562     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1563 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1564 12) frag removed.  See
1565     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1566     latest version.
1567 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1568     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1569 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1570 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2.  This means that you may need to make
1571     some links.  The links you need to make we system dependent.  The
1572     ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1573     link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period.  If you
1574     are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything.  The
1575     bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1576     the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1577
1578              New                 Old
1579
1580         /var/log/wtmp       /var/adm/wtmp
1581         /var/log/lastlog    /var/adm/lastlog
1582         /var/run/utmp       /var/adm/utmp
1583
1584 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1585 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1586 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1587 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now.  See
1588    sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1589    For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1590    util-linux.  A "make install" should work find from within that
1591    directory.
1592 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1593     ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1594     sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1595     tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1596
1597
1598 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1599
1600 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1601    use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1602    things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1603    install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1604 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1605 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1606    readprofile
1607 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1608     fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1609     pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1617 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1618
1619 bsd:
1620     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need
1621     this support:

1745     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1746     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1747     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1748     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1749     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1750     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1751     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1752     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1753     which restores the -o semantics.
1754
1755     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1756     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1757     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1758     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1759     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1760     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1761     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1762     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1763     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1764     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1765     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1766     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1767     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1768     error reporting.
1769
1770     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1771     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1773 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1774     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1775     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1776     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1777     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1814                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
