-util-linux 2.8:
-
-WARNING: THE PROGRAMS IN THIS SUITE DO *NOT* SUPPORT SHADOW PASSWORD FILES!
- UNLESS YOU USE PAM.
-
-WARNING: THIS COLLECTION CONFLICTS WITH SYSTEM V INITTAB.
- UNLESS YOU CONFIGURE IT NOT TO.
-
-WARNING: USE GNU TAR -- OTHER TARS WILL FAIL SILENTLY!
-
-WARNING: DO *NOT* INSTALL WITHOUT THINKING.
-
-WARNING: The simpleinit and some other programs in this package are
- *NOT* System V compliant. These utilities are meant to be
- used by people who build their own systems. If you are not
- a wizard, do *NOT* blindly install these utilities: they could
- prevent you from logging into your system. Have a boot floppy
- ready, especially if you don't know what you are doing. It's a
- great way to learn though ;-)
-
-
-To install from source:
-
-1) Get source distribution (see the .lsm file for locations)
-2) Untar util-linux-2.8.tar.gz in /usr/src
-3) cd util-linux-2.8
-4) Edit MCONFIG
-5) make
-6) make install
-7) If you want to use simpleinit and agetty, then make softlinks from
- /sbin/init to simpleinit and from /sbin/getty to agetty, but make sure
- that your /etc/inittab is set up right (this is *NOT* the System V
- compatible init!), or you will be hosed. If you are using the SysV
- init and/or some other getty, they you can keep using those.
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.8:
-
-0a) It's been way to long since the last release. My fault.
-0b) NO PAM patches.
-1) New programs:
- - getopt(1) by Frodo Looijaard replaces the older bsd based version.
- Keywords: Backward compatible, supports --long options.
-1) Removed programs:
- - chroot: is no longer in util-linux. Get it free with GNU sh-utils
- - frag:
- - lpcntl: This was removed in an earlier release (2.7) but I forgot to
- mention it.
- - hostid: No-one could figure out the right way for this program to
- work. Another hostid program is included in poeigl
- (see the LSM, Primary-site: ftp.daimi.aau.dk /pub/linux/poe)
-2) Various portability enhancements. Among other things hwclock now works
- a lot better on non Intel architectures. Should compile with libc 4, 5
- and 6 as well as old and recent kernels. People using non-intel hardware
- are encouraged to send patches.
-3) rev now only limits linelength to memory capacity
-4) dmesg now uses a buffer that matches the kernel buffer in size (8KB)
-0xF) Send questions and/or patches to util-linux@math.uio.no
-
-
-util-linux 2.7:
-
-HIGLIGHTS for version 2.7:
-
-1) util-linux now _requires_ ncurses. Several programs are completely
- converted to use terminfo (instead of termcap).
-
-2) Removed progams:
- - clock: Dropped entierly. Use hwclock (included).
- - sync: is in gnu fileutils.
- - setserial: Is being maintained by Ted Ts'o, he recommends
- setserial-2.12 (2.13 is bad luck)
- - clear: Included in ncurses
- - hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname: It's in net-utils.
-
-3) Bugfixes, additions:
- - cfdisk: A much improved version. All known bugs have been fixed.
- - sfdisk: A command line fdisk type utility, formerly called fdisk-3.04.
- - SECURITY: All known holes in login, chfn, chsh and others have been
- plugged. UPGRADE NOW if you haven't already fixed them yourself.
- - Should work with libc 4, 5 and 6 (gnulibc), on m68k, intel, alpha
- and sparc.
-
-4) Problems:
- - The rpcgen that comes in NetKit-B-0.09 is broken. At least as
- packaged with RedHat 4.2 (NetKit-B-0.09-6). There are several
- ways to deal with this:
- - Don't run rpcgen, the needed pre-generated sources are included
- (nfsmount_xdr.c). You must hack mount/Makefile to do this.
- - Edit the source emited by rpcgen so it can compile. This is very
- simple if you know C.
- - Disable the NFS parts of mount. You have to edit mount/Makefile
- to do this.
- - Use some other rpcgen
-
-util-linux 2.6.1
-
-This release was never made public
-
-See notes for 2.6 for installation instructions.
-
-This is a incremental release containing some fixes. A new release
-will be made later fixing the outstanding bugs.
-- Things compiles and works better with recent releases of kernel,
- ncurses, and so forth: fdisk, more
-- Some fixes to make things compile out of the box on alphas.
-- There has been reported a problem with login and /etc/usertty. It
- should be fixed. If you still have problems get a recent MAKEDEV and
- use it to make new tty devices. They were renumbered sometime during
- the 1.3 phase of the kernel.
-- ipcs now displays the key of the structures.
-- A (harmless?) overflow bug was fixed in login.
-
-Outstanding bugs:
-- login/getty has a denial of service problem.
-- Several places needs a bit more polish.
-- There are a _lot_ of nonfatal warnings when compiling mount. This will
- not necesarily be fixed.
-
-
-util-linux 2.6
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.6:
-
-0) The first release with me at the helm. PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND
- UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no.
-
-1) Removed programs:
- - md5sum: available in GNU textutils.
- - syslogd: Sysklogd is now prefered. It is available at
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/sources/sbin
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Daemons
-
-2) Bugfixes, additions:
- - SECURITY: All known holes in mount have been fixed. UPGRADE NOW
- if you haven't already!
- - Portability enhancments to the minix filesystem utils (m68k and
- Arm patches).
- - passwd/chsh/chfn will not mess up the passwd file on a NIS machine
- - others too numerous to enumerate.
-
-3) New programs:
- - vigr (it's like vipw)
- - Introducing hwclock. A complete rewrite of the latest available
- clock source. It supports intel/CMOS, /dev/rtc and linux/m68k
- system clock interfaces. Clock supports the same things but is now
- obsolete and will not be present in the next release. Start using
- hwclock now. Please.
-
-
-util-linux 2.5
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.5:
-0) Nicolai Langfeldt is taking over maintenance of util-linux, with the
- help of a few others (Michael K. Johnson, Andries Brouwer, and Rik
- Faith).
-
- PLEASE SEND PATCHES AND UPDATES TO: util-linux@math.uio.no
-
-1) The following packages have been removed. Please use the up-to-date,
- canonical versions of these packages from the listed places:
-
- timezone support (/usr/lib/zoneinfo, libz.a, zic, zdump):
- elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzcode95d.tar.gz
- elsie.nci.nih.gov:/pub/tzdata95h.tar.gz
- MAKEDEV-C:
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-C-1.5.tar.gz
- MAKEDEV:
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Admin/MAKEDEV-2.2.tar.gz
- md5sum:
- prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/textutils-1.3.tar.gz
- [The GNU version is now compatible with the Plumb/Lankester
- version.]
- ksymoops:
- Now bundled with the kernel in linux/scripts.
-
-2) update_state has been removed
-3) fdisk now supports NetBSD disklabels courtesy of Bernhard Fastenrath
- <fasten@athene.informatik.uni-bonn.de> (and > 8GB disks, courtesy of
- Andries Brouwer)
-4) mount improved -- many patches from Andries Brouwer for greatly improved
- error reporting
-5) ddate, chkdupexe, and other programs have been improved and bug fixed
-6) util-linux is now a source-only distribution
-7) mcookie generates better random numbers and will use /dev/random or
- /dev/audio if available
-8) chfn, chsh, passwd, and vipw have been updated with security patches
- from Zefram <A.Main@dcs.warwick.ac.uk>. Now, they all use the same
- locking, and several security holes have been patched. Further, chsh
- and chfn can be configured at compile time to require a password before
- updates and chsh can be configured to only use shells from /etc/shells.
-
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.4 (2.3 was never released):
-0) Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@nigel.vnet.net> is the interim maintainer
- while Rik Faith is working on PhD work.
-1) login now makes the login tty mode 600 and places it in group "tty"
-2) wall, and write will not write dangerous escape sequences
-3) wall and write can be run setgid "tty". If util-linux is compiled for
- this option, "mesg y" will only set group write instead of group/other
- write.
-4) fdisk and cfdisk have been patched with the latest llseek.c. Although I
- had a lot of bug reports about fdisk from util-linux-2.2, I was unable
- to reproduce any of the problems. Some of the problems appeared to be
- releated to a failure to reboot the machine after changing the partition
- table, and some may have been due to a specific kernel revision problem.
- However, this doesn't seem to account for all of the bug reports -- if
- this version gives you problem, please send as complete a bug report as
- possible.
-5) chkdupexe from Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@ifi.uio.no)
-6) ctrlaltdel now installs into /sbin instead of /usr/sbin
-7) mkfs replacement from Ron Sommeling (sommel@sci.kun.nl)
-8) lpcntl removed. Use tunelp instead.
-9) ksymoops from Greg McGary <gkm@magilla.cichlid.com>
-10) mkfs.minix now clears the first 512 bytes of the file system so that
- Minix disks won't be confused with MSDOS disks (Daniel Quinlan
- (quinlan@yggdrasil.com))
-11) mkswap should now work on an Alpha running Linux
-12) frag removed. See
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/defrag-0.6.tar.gz for the
- latest version.
-13) mount patches from Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl and Dan Quinlan
- (quinlan@yggdrasil.com).
-14) MAKEDEV and MAKEDEV-C updated to the latest versions.
-15) Paths updated for FSSTND 1.2. This means that you may need to make
- some links. The links you need to make we system dependent. The
- ultimate goal is to rename /var/adm to /var/log and have a symbolic
- link from /var/adm to /var/log during the transition period. If you
- are running an ELF system, you probably won't have to do anything. The
- bottom line is that the following files must exist or be pointers to
- the old version (used internally by the a.out libraries):
-
- New Old
-
- /var/log/wtmp /var/adm/wtmp
- /var/log/lastlog /var/adm/lastlog
- /var/run/utmp /var/adm/utmp
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.2:
-1) This is primarily a quick bug-fix release for version 2.1
-2) mkfs wrapper added back in, since e2fsprogs only supplies an fsck wrapper
-3) selection removed, since someone appears to be maintaining it now. See
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/patches/console for recent sources.
- For the time being, I'm keeping a copy in the historic subdirectory of
- util-linux. A "make install" should work find from within that
- directory.
-4) Note that other floppy utilities are available from:
- ftp.imag.fr:pub/Linux/ZLIBC/fdutils/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
- sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Misc/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/sbin/fdutils-4.1.src.tar.gz
-
-
-HIGHLIGHTS for version 2.1:
-
-1) Directory structure rearrange, with configuration support for those who
- use shadow passwords and System V init (no support is provided for these
- things, but your utilities won't get overwritten if you do a "make
- install" after you properly edit MCONFIG).
-2) fdisk and cfdisk should work as expected with 2GB+ disk drives
-3) As usual, lots of stuff was updated and added, including mount, vipw,
- readprofile
-4) Some stuff was also deleted, and can now be found elsewhere:
- fsck wrapper: tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/ALPHA/ext2fs/e2fsprogs*
- pwd, su: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sh-utils*
- ed: prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/ed*

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

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

- Most of the changes for syslogd come from Rick Sladkey
- (jrs@world.std.com), but I'd like to thank other people who sent in
- changes (which usually got forwarded to Rick): Carsten Paeth
- (calle@calle.in-berlin.de) and Kaz Sasayama (kaz@lilia.iijnet.or.jp).
