| [ Werner Fink ] |
| * Allow init to delte extra environment variables (was local bug |
| #35858) |
| * Avoid that init double environment variables for its childs |
| (was local bug #35855) |
| * Remove man-db tag for encoding for canonical man |
| * Sulogin: try to detect the real device(s) used for the system console |
| /dev/console if but only if /dev/console is used. On Linux this can |
| be more than one device, e.g. a serial line as well as a virtual |
| console as well as a simple printer. |
| * Fix counting message lines in wall. Patch from Petr Lautrbach. |
| * Fix bad printf conversion specifier in wall. Patch from Sébastien Luttringer. |
| * Add patches from Openwall project. Thanks goes to Solar Designer. |
| * Add code to detect the system consoles with the help of the |
| new /proc/consoles files of linux kernel 2.6.38+ |
| * Try to make utmpdump IPv6 valid, change based on suggestion from |
| Navdeep Bhatia (see local bug #32429) |
| * Fix signal and alarm handling based on the patch from Florent Viard. |
| (was local bug #32304) |
| * Add fix for Redhat bug #573346: last incorrectly displays IPv6 |
| addresses (was local bug #29497) |
| * Correct fix for Debian bug #547073: use IUTF8 flag if defined |
| and if already set to make sure the utf-8 flag is not cleared |
| from the tty. Patch from Samuel Thibault. |
| * Include limits.h in killall.c to enforce definition of PATH_MAX |
| * Fix sysvinit bug #29758 Linker invocation should not contain |
| headers. Change based on patch from Elias Pipping. |
| * Add fix for Debian bug #580272: use return value 1 of |
| is_selinux_enabled() to determine if SELinux is enabled, |
| otherwise initialize SELinux and load the policy. Patch from |
| Petter Reinholdtsen. |
| * Make quotes visible in example of the manual page of fstab-decode |
| * Sulogin: enforce reconnection of stdin/stdout/stderr if a device |
| was specified. |
| * Sulogin: if zero is read at reading the passwd guess it's done. |
| * Sulogin: respect byte order that is do not mix chars and ints |
| |
| [ Petter Reinholdtsen ] |
| * Next release will be 2.89dsf. |
| * Add #ifdef in bootlogd.c to avoid gcc warnings about unused |
| variable on non-linux platforms. |
| * Only set the VSWTC field for termios in init if it is available, |
| to get the source building on FreeBSD. |
| * Add some code to be able to detect programs even as user with |
| kernel 3.0 and above |

| [ Petter Reinholdtsen ] |
| * Mention new home on Savannah in README. |
| * Revert change from Fedora/RedHat where the now obsolete command |
| INIT_CMD_CHANGECONS was introduced. Based on feedback and patch |
| from Bill Nottingham. |
| * Adjust makefile to make sure the install directories are created |
| before files are copied into them. |
| * Simplify build rules, based on patch from Mike Frysinger and Gentoo. |
| * Fix minor bug in optimizing of argument parsing. Based on |
| report from jakemus on freshmeat. |
| * Add casts to get rid of compiler warning about signed/unsigned issues. |
| * Change tty handling in init to make sure the UTF-8 flag is not cleared |
| on boot. Patch from Samuel Thibault. |
| * Add Makefile in toplevel directory. |
| * Print usage information when shutdown is used by non-root user. |
| Patch from Mike Frysinger and Gentoo. |
| * Sync shutdown manual page and usage information. Patch from Mike |
| Frysinger and Gentoo. |
| * Fix race condition in utmp writing. Patch from Gil Kloepfer via |
| Mike Frysinger and Gentoo. |
| * Rewrite findtty() in bootlogd to recursively search /dev/ for the |
| correct device, to handle terminal devices for example in /dev/pty/. |
| Patch from Debian. |
| * Make sure bootlogd findpty() returns an error value when it fails to |
| find a usable pty. Patch from Rob Leslie via Debian. |
| * Make sure bootlogd fflush() every line, even if asked not to flush |
| to disk using fdatasync(). Patch from Scott Gifford via Debian. |
| * Add compatibility code to handle old path "/etc/powerstatus" for a |
| while. |
| * Incude definition for MNT_DETACH which is missing in older GNU libc |
| headers. |
| * Do not strip binaries before installing them, to make it easier to |
| get binaries with debug information installed. |
| |
| [ Werner Fink ] |
| * Add the comment from Andrea Arcangeli about the correct |
| place of setting the default childhandler within spawn(). |
| * Make sure that newline is printed out for last(1) even |
| if an utmp record entry is truncated. |
| * Check if utmp not only exists but also is writable and delay |
| writing out of the utmp runlevel record if utmp is not writable. |
| * Be able to find libcrypt also on 64 bit based architectures. |
| * Add option -w to the last command to display the full user and |
| domain names in the output. Patch from Petr Lautrbach. |
| * Add a manual page for utmpdump as this tool is sometimes |
| very useful even if not intended for normal use. |
| * Use paths.h macros for wall |
| * Change path "/etc/powerstatus" to "/var/run/powerstatus" |
| * Detected also removable block devices at halt/reboot to be able |
| to flush data and send them the ATA standby command. This should |
| avoid data loss on USB sticks and other removable block devices. |
| * Flush block devices on halt/reboot if not done by the kernel. |
| * Set SHELL to /bin/sh in the environmant of shutdown. |
| * Retry to write out shutdown messages if interrupted. |
| * pidof/killall5 - make omit pid list a dynamic one. |
| * pidof - provide '-n' to skip stat(2) syscall on network based FS. |
| * init - avoid compiler warnings |
| * init - initialize console by using the macros from ttydefaults.h |
| * init - add the possiblity to ignore further interrupts from keyboard |
| * init - add the possiblity to set sane terminal line settings |
| * sulogin - add the possibility to reset the terminal io |
| * Fix some minor problems |
| * init - enable is_selinux_enabled() to detect selinuxfs |
| * Add fix for Debian bug #536574 -- Can be enabled by -DACCTON_OFF |
| * Add helper program fstab-decode to make it easier to handle |
| /etc/mtab content. Patch by Miloslav Trmac and Fedora. |
| * Add fix for Debian bug #335023 - Make sure TERM is set on FreeBSD. |
| * Add fix for Debian bug #374038 - Make it clear that shutdown -c can |
| only cancel a waiting shutdown, not an active one. |
| * Add note to pidof manual page about the use of readlink(2). Patch by |
| Bill Nottingham and Fedora. |
| * Add PAM patch contrib/notify-pam-dead.patch based on Debian bug |
| #68621, which will add PAM support for programs spawned by init on |
| the console like sulogin. Based on patch by Topi Miettinen. This |
| patch is not applied by default yet while we review its |
| usefullness. It is only helpful for session handling, as sulogin |
| do not use and will not use a PAM conv() function. The current |
| sulogin is able to handle DES as well as MD5, SHA, and Blowfish |
| encrypted passwords due using getpwnam(3). |
| * Move utmp/wtmp before the execvp() in spawn() to be sure to |
| use the correct pid even on a controlling tty |
| * Remaining problem is that the pid of the second fork() for |
| getting a controlling tty isn't that reported by spawn() |
| * Re-enable writting utmp/wtmp for boot scripts |
| * Extend sulogin to support additional encryption algorithms |
| * Re-enable maintenance message of sulogin |
| * Enable the sulogin fallback password check to handle MD5, SHA, and |
| Blowfish encrypted passwords in case of getpwnam(3) fails. |
| * sulogin picking the SELinux context was broken. Patch by Daniel Walsh |

| some pids during shutdown. Based on patch from Colin Watson and |
| Ubuntu. |
| * Add references between killall5 and pidof manual pages. Patch from Debian. |
| * Modify killall to work better with user space file system, by |
| changing cwd to /proc when stopping and killing processes, and |
| avoiding stat() when the value isn't used. Also, lock process |
| pages in memory to avoid paging when user processes are stopped. |

| Modderman. |
| * Change shutdown to only accept flags -H and -P with the -h flag, |
| and document this requirement in the manual page. |
| * Change reboot/halt to work properly when used as a login shell. |

| * Fixed up bootlogd to read /proc/cmdline. Also keep an internal |
| linebuffer to process \r, \t and ^H. It is becoming useable. |
| * Applied trivial OWL patches |
| * Block signals in syslog(), since syslog() is not re-entrant |
| (James Olin Oden <joden@malachi.lee.k12.nc.us>, redhat bug #97534) |
| * Minor adjustements so that sysvinit compiles on the Hurd |
| * killall5 now skips kernel threads |
| * Inittab entries with both 'S' and other runlevels were broken. |
| Fix by Bryan Kadzban <bryan@kadzban.is-a-geek.net> |
| * Changed initreq.h to be more flexible and forwards-compatible. |
| * You can now through /dev/initctl set environment variables in |
| init that will be inherited by its children. For now, only |
| variables prefixed with INIT_ can be set and the maximum is |
| 16 variables. There's also a length limit due to the size |
| of struct init_request, so it should be safe from abuse. |
| * Option -P and -H to shutdown set INIT_HALT=POWERDOWN and |
| INIT_HALT=HALT as environment variables as described above |
| * Add "mountpoint" utility. |
| * Slightly better algorithm in killall5.c:pidof() |
| * Added some patches from fedora-core (halt-usage, last -t, |
| sulogin-message, user-console) |

| * Turned of support for /etc/initrunlvl and /var/run/initrunlvl |
| * Fixed warts in dowall.c ("Dmitry V. Levin" <ldv@altlinux.org>) |
| * Fix init.c::spawn(). The "f" variable was used both as file descriptor |

| - Lots of changes all over the place. |
| (like showing runlevel in "ps" listing, logging |
| runlevel into utmp file etc) |
| - now using "reliable" signals instead of V7 style. |

| etc (normal) and etc-sysv (sysv style scripts). |

| SysVinit-2.4.tar.z. |
| |
| 2.4g 15-May-93 |
| - Changed init to really catch SIGPWR 'cause we |
| hooked up an UPS to the Linux machine. The |
| keyword for catching the TreeFingerSalute is |
| now "ctrlaltdel" instead of "power{wait,fail}". |
| |
| 2.4a 22-Apr-93 |
| - Fixed last to reckognize BSD style wtmp logging. |
| - Changed init to write wtmp records that are |
| SysV compliant but are also reckognized by the |
| BSD last. Added a '+' option to the 'process' |
| field of inittab, for getties that want to do |
| their own utmp/wtmp housekeeping (kludge!). |
| - Now accepts a runlevel on the command line, |
| and reckognizes the 'auto' argument. (Sets the |
| environment variable AUTOBOOT to YES) |
| |
| 2.2.3 24-Mar-93 |
| - Ripped out the 'leave' action. To difficult, and |
| unneeded. |

| - Now using 'pseudo levels' # & * for SYSINIT & BOOT |
| - Added a new type of 'action', called leave. This |
| process will be executed when the system goes from a |
| runlevel specified in it's runlevel field to a |
| level that's not. Nice to bring down NFS and the like. |
| |
| 2.1 28-Jan-93 |
| - Fixed a bug with 'boot' and 'once'. |
| - Check 'initdefault' for validity. |
| - Reckognizes "single" as command line argument. |
| - Retries execvp with 'sh -c exec ..' if command |
| is a shell script. (shouldn't execvp do this?) |
| - Added patches to use syslog if defined. |
| |
| 2.0 08-Dec-92 |
| - Rewrote the code totally, so started with a new |
| version number. |
| - Dropped Minix support, this code now is Linux - specific. |
| - With TEST switch on, this init & telinit can |
| run standalone for test purposes. |
| |
| 1.3, 05-Jul-92 |
| - Got a 386, so installed Linux. Added 'soft' reboot |
| to be default under linux. Fixed some typos. |
| |
| 1.2, 16-Jun-92 |
| - Bugreport from Michael Haardt ; removed deadlock |
| and added 'waitpid' instead of 'wait' for SYSV. |
| |
| 1.1, 30-Apr-92 |
| - Read manual wrong: there is no 'action' field called |
| process, but all entries are of type process. Every |
| 'process' get exec'ed by /bin/sh -c 'exec command'. |
| - Rapidly respawning processes are caught in the act. |
| - _SYSV support is really Linux support, |
| done by poe@daimi.aau.dk on 25-Mar-92. |
| |
| 1.0, 01-Feb-92 |
| - Initial version, very primitive for the Minix |
| operating system. Required some mods. to the |
| kernel. |
