1345
1346 * refixed PAM stuff in login.c that was broken in 2.8.
1347
1348 util-linux 2.9b:
1349
1350 * split README into INSTALL and HISTORY
1351 * added a sentence to swapon.8
1352 * behavior of write on non-ASCII fixed
1353 * hwclock adapted to survive a failing mktime()
1354
1355 util-linux 2.9a:
1356
1357 * added an include to lib/my_reboot.c so that __GLIBC__ is defined
1358 * added setlocale() to login-utils/chfn.c
1359 * do not recompute MAIL in login-utils/login.c
1360
1361 util-linux 2.9:
1362
1363 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1364
1365 1) Removed programs:
1366 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1367 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1368 1a) Not yet removed program:
1369 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1370 ugly man page).
1371 1b) Removed directory:
1372 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1373 2) Improvements:
1374 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1375 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1376 (i.e., uses locale)
1377 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1378 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1379 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1380 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1381 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1382 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1383 (however, I don't think it really works)
1384 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1385 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1386 3) Uglifications:
1387 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1388 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1389 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1390 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1391 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1392 4) Numerous other small changes.
1393
1394 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1395
1396 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1397 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1398 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1399 forwarded to Bryan.
1400
1401 util-linux 2.8:
1402
1403 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1404
1405 1) New programs:
1406 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1407 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1408 1) Removed programs:
1409 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1410 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1411 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1412 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1413 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1414 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1415 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1416 are encouraged to send patches.
1417 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1418 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1419
1420
1421 util-linux 2.7:
1422
1423 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1424
1425 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1426 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1427
1428 2) Removed programs:
1429 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1430 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1431 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1432 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1433 - clear: Included in ncurses
1434 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1435 - lpcntl.
1436
1437 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1438 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1439 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1440 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1441 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1442 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1443 and sparc.
1444
1445 4) Problems:
1446 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1447 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1448 ways to deal with this:
1449 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1450 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1451 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1452 simple if you know C.
1453 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1454 to do this.
1455 - Use some other rpcgen.
1456
1457 util-linux 2.6.1
1458
1459 This release was never made public
1460
1461 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1462
1463 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1464 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1465 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1466 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1467 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1468 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1469 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1470 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1471 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1472 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1473 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1474
1475 Outstanding bugs:
1476 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1477 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1478 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1479 not necessarily be fixed.
1480
1481
1482 util-linux 2.6
1483
1484 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1485
1486 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1487 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1488
1489 1) Removed programs:
1490 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1491 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
1492 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1493 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1494
1495 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1496 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1497 if you haven't already!
1498 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1499 Arm patches).
1500 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1501 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1502
1503 3) New programs:
1504 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1505 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1506 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1507 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1508 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1509 hwclock now. Please.
1510
1511
1512 util-linux 2.5
1513
1514 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1515 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1516 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1517 Faith).
1518
1519 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1520
1521 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1522 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1523
1524 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1525 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1526 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1527 MAKEDEV-C:
1528 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1529 MAKEDEV:
1530 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1531 md5sum:
1532 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1533 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1534 version.]
1535 ksymoops:
1536 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1537
1538 2) update_state has been removed
1539 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1540 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1541 Andries Brouwer)
1542 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1543 error reporting
1544 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1545 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1546 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1547 /dev/audio if available
1548 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1549 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1550 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1551 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1552 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1553
1554
1555 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1556 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1557 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1558 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1559 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1560 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1561 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1562 write.
1563 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1564 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1565 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1566 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1567 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1568 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1569 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1570 possible.
1571 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1572 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1573 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1574 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1575 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1576 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1577 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1578 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1579 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1580 12) frag removed. See
1581 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1582 latest version.
1583 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1584 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1585 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1586 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1587 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1588 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1589 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1590 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1591 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1592 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1593
1594 New Old
1595
1596 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1597 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1598 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1599
1600 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1601 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1602 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1603 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1604 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1605 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1606 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1607 directory.
1608 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1609 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1610 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1611 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1612
1613
1614 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1615
1616 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1617 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1618 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1619 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1620 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1621 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1622 readprofile
1623 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1624 fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1625 pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1761 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1762 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1763 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1764 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1765 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1766 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1767 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1768 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1769 which restores the -o semantics.
1770
1771 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1772 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1773 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1774 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1775 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1776 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1777 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1778 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1779 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1780 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1781 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1782 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1783 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1784 error reporting.
1785
1786 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1787 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1788
1789 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1790 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1791 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1792 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1793 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1828 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1829 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1830 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1831 is now included.
