1341 * added a forgotten declaration to login.c (Christian Oyarzun)
1342
1343 util-linux 2.9d:
1344
1345 * fixed segfault in umount caused by Wilcox' patch (Steffen Zahn)
1346 * added lnz stuff to fdisk
1347
1348 util-linux 2.9c:
1349
1350 * refixed PAM stuff in login.c that was broken in 2.8.
1351
1352 util-linux 2.9b:
1353
1354 * split README into INSTALL and HISTORY
1355 * added a sentence to swapon.8
1356 * behavior of write on non-ASCII fixed
1357 * hwclock adapted to survive a failing mktime()
1358
1359 util-linux 2.9a:
1360
1361 * added an include to lib/my_reboot.c so that __GLIBC__ is defined
1362 * added setlocale() to login-utils/chfn.c
1363 * do not recompute MAIL in login-utils/login.c
1364
1365 util-linux 2.9:
1366
1367 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.9:
1368
1369 1) Removed programs:
1370 - strings. There is a version in binutils.
1371 - frag. (Moved to historic in 2.4, crept back in 2.5. Gone again.)
1372 1a) Not yet removed program:
1373 - setfdprm. It also is in fdutils-5.2 (with an exceptionally
1374 ugly man page).
1375 1b) Removed directory:
1376 - bsd. (The routine getopt() is in libc. err() moved to lib.)
1377 2) Improvements:
1378 - ddate has been fixed to count down to the new, right X-day
1379 - look is now willing to search non-English dictionaries
1380 (i.e., uses locale)
1381 - cal now knows that Dutch day abbreviations have length 2 only
1382 - mcookie does not block when no random stuff is available
1383 - shutdown got a configuration file /etc/shutdown.conf
1384 - fdisk now reads SGI disk labels (thanks to Andreas Neuper)
1385 - mkswap now knows about new swap areas; mkswap.8 has been rewritten
1386 - umount knows about umount2() and forced unmounting of nfs mounts
1387 (however, I don't think it really works)
1388 - mount is now willing to handle file names with embedded spaces
1389 - mount can now mount things by UUID or volume name
1390 3) Uglifications:
1391 - swap.h has been replaced by a private swap_constants.h since
1392 <linux/swap.h> does not compile
1393 - reboot has become a private routine, since libc5 and glibc2 conflict
1394 - a mkminix-0.1 directory contains some patches to let mkfs.minix
1395 work under DOS. (Untested.)
1396 4) Numerous other small changes.
1397
1398 0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
1399
1400 util-linux 2.9 was released by Andries Brouwer - aeb@cwi.nl
1401 The address util-linux@math.uio.no reaches Rik, Andries, Peter,
1402 Michael, Erik, Nicolai and possibly others. Hwclock stuff is
1403 forwarded to Bryan.
1404
1405 util-linux 2.8:
1406
1407 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
1408
1409 1) New programs:
1410 - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
1411 Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
1412 1) Removed programs:
1413 - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
1414 - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
1415 work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
1416 (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
1417 2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
1418 a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
1419 and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
1420 are encouraged to send patches.
1421 3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
1422 4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
1423
1424
1425 util-linux 2.7:
1426
1427 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.7:
1428
1429 1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
1430 converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
1431
1432 2) Removed programs:
1433 - clock: Dropped entirely. Use hwclock (included).
1434 - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
1435 - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
1436 setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
1437 - clear: Included in ncurses
1438 - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
1439 - lpcntl.
1440
1441 3) Bugfixes, additions:
1442 - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
1443 - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
1444 - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
1445 plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
1446 - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
1447 and sparc.
1448
1449 4) Problems:
1450 - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
1451 packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
1452 ways to deal with this:
1453 - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
1454 (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
1455 - Edit the source emitted by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
1456 simple if you know C.
1457 - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
1458 to do this.
1459 - Use some other rpcgen.
1460
1461 util-linux 2.6.1
1462
1463 This release was never made public
1464
1465 See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
1466
1467 This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
1468 will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
1469 - Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
1470 ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
1471 - Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
1472 - There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
1473 should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
1474 use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
1475 the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
1476 - ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
1477 - A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
1478
1479 Outstanding bugs:
1480 - login/getty has a denial of service problem.
1481 - Several places needs a bit more polish.
1482 - There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
1483 not necessarily be fixed.
1484
1485
1486 util-linux 2.6
1487
1488 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
1489
1490 0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
1491 UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
1492
1493 1) Removed programs:
1494 - md5sum, dsplit: available in GNU textutils.
1495 - syslogd: Sysklogd is now preferred. It is available at
1496 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
1497 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
1498
1499 2) Bugfixes, additions:
1500 - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
1501 if you haven't already!
1502 - Portability enhancements to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
1503 Arm patches).
1504 - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
1505 - others too numerous to enumerate.
1506
1507 3) New programs:
1508 - vigr (it's like vipw)
1509 - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
1510 clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
1511 system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
1512 obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
1513 hwclock now. Please.
1514
1515
1516 util-linux 2.5
1517
1518 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
1519 0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
1520 help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
1521 Faith).
1522
1523 PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
1524
1525 1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
1526 canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
1527
1528 timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
1529 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
1530 elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
1531 MAKEDEV-C:
1532 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
1533 MAKEDEV:
1534 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
1535 md5sum:
1536 prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
1537 [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
1538 version.]
1539 ksymoops:
1540 Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
1541
1542 2) update_state has been removed
1543 3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
1544 <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
1545 Andries Brouwer)
1546 4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
1547 error reporting
1548 5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
1549 6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
1550 7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
1551 /dev/audio if available
1552 8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
1553 from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
1554 locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
1555 and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
1556 updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
1557
1558
1559 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
1560 0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
1561 while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
1562 1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
1563 2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
1564 3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
1565 this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
1566 write.
1567 4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
1568 had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
1569 to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
1570 related to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
1571 table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
1572 However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
1573 this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
1574 possible.
1575 5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
1576 6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
1577 7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
1578 8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
1579 9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
1580 10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
1581 Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
1582 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
1583 11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
1584 12) frag removed. See
1585 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
1586 latest version.
1587 13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1588 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
1589 14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
1590 15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
1591 some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
1592 ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
1593 link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
1594 are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
1595 bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
1596 the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
1597
1598 New Old
1599
1600 /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
1601 /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
1602 /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
1603
1604 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
1605 1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
1606 2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
1607 3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
1608 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
1609 For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
1610 util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
1611 directory.
1612 4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
1613 ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1614 sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1615 tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
1616
1617
1618 HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
1619
1620 1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
1621 use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
1622 things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
1623 install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
1624 2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
1625 3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
1626 readprofile
1627 4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
1628 fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
1629 pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*

1765 Rick Sladkey put together the mount-0.99.6.tar.Z package, and Stephen
1766 Tweedie provided updates. The utilities were originally from that
1767 package (all appear to be by Doug Quale (quale@saavik.cs.wisc.edu),
1768 with modifications by H. J. Lu (hlu@eecs.wsu.edu) on 11/25/92; Rick
1769 Sladkey (jrs@world.std.com) in January 1993; and Stephen Tweedie
1770 <sct@dcs.ed.ac.uk> on 8 October 1993. This distribution mount now
1771 supports NFS stuff. I have modified the man pages. I have also added
1772 a small patch from Hamish Glen Coleman (t933093@minyos.xx.rmit.OZ.AU)
1773 which restores the -o semantics.
1774
1775 Updated with Rick Sladkey's mount-0.99.14.tar.gz package, and with
1776 extra patches from Rick. Adam J. Richter allowed -t option to be
1777 optional. Patrick J. Volkerding (volkerdi@mhd1.moorhead.msus.edu) and
1778 Mitchum DSouza both provided patches that fixed the (null) problem when
1779 not using -t. Mitchum DSouza
1780 (mitch@mrc-applied-psychology.cambridge.ac.uk) added support for loop
1781 device mounts. Sebastian Lederer
1782 (lederer@next-pc.informatik.uni-bonn.de) added support for sending an
1783 unmount RPC call to the server when an NFS-filesystem is unmounted.
1784 Sander van Malssen (svm@kozmix.hacktic.nl) added support for remounting
1785 readonly file systems readonly. Mike Grupenhoff
1786 <kashmir@umiacs.UMD.EDU> added a probe of the superblock for the type
1787 before /proc/filesystems is checked. Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl fixed up
1788 error reporting.
1789
1790 Updated with patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
1791 (quinlan@yggdrasil.com). And more patches from Andries and others.
1792
1793 historic/selection: The complete selection-1.5 package, by Andrew Haylett
1794 <ajh@gec-mrc.co.uk>, 17th June 1993, is included in the historic tree.
1795 Kernel patches are no longer necessary for modern kernels, but these
1796 were tiny so I left them in for historical reasons. The Makefile was
1797 modified for this distribution. With changes from Rick Sladkey.

1832 did extensive changes for version 2.01, I can't find any
1833 notes about this in the documentation. However, Theodore
1834 Ts'o (tytso@ATHENA.MIT.EDU) released version 2.10, and that
1835 is now included.
