1302
1303 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1304
1305 1) Removed programs:
1306    - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1307    - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1308 1a) Not yet removed program:
1309    - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1310      ugly man page).
1311 1b) Removed directory:
1312    - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1313 2) Improvements:
1314    - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1315    - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1316      (i.e., uses locale)
1317    - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1318    - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1319    - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1320    - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1321    - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1322    - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1323      (however, I don't think it really works)
1324    - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1325    - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1326 3) Uglifications:
1327    - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1328      <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1329    - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1330    - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1331      work under DOS. (Untested.)
1332 4) Numerous other small changes.
1333
1334 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no

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

1573 PARTIAL HISTORY OF UTIL-LINUX:
1574
1575 bsd:
1576     Nothing in this directory gets installed, but some BSD programs need

1701     Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1702     Tweedie provided updates.  The utilities were originally from that
1703     package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1704     with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1705     Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1706     <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993.  This distribution mount now
1707     supports NFS stuff.  I have modified the man pages.  I have also added
1708     a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1709     which restores the -o semantics.
1710
1711     Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1712     extra patches from Rick.  Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1713     optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1714     Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1715     not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1716     (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1717     device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1718     (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1719     unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1720     Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1721     readonly file systems readonly.  Mike Grupenhoff
1722     <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1723     before /proc/filesystems is checked.  Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1724     error reporting.
1725
1726     Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1727     (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).  And more patches from Andries and others.

1729 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1730     <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1731     Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1732     were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons.  The Makefile was
1733     modified for this distribution.  With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1768                did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1769                notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1770                Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
