sysvinit (2.88dsf) world; urgency=low [ 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 -- Petter Reinholdtsen Sun Apr 11 11:28:55 CEST 2010 sysvinit (2.87dsf) world; urgency=low * Fix typos and do minor updates in the manual pages. * Correct section of mountpoint(1). * Document -e and -t options for telinit in init(8). * Update address of FSF in the COPYRIGHT file. * Document in halt(8) that -n might not disable all syncing. Patch by Bill Nottingham and Fedora * Adjust output from "last -x". In reboot lines, print endpoint of uptime too. In shutdown lines print downtimes rather than the time between downs. Fix typo in string compare in last.c. Patch by Thomas Hood. * Improve handling of IPv6 addresses in last. Patch from Fedora. * Document last options in usage information, previously only mentioned in the manual page. * Add new option -F to last, to output full date string instead of the short form provided by default. Patch from Olaf Dabrunz and SuSe. * Adjust build rules to make sure the installed binaries are stripped. * Increase the compiler warning level when building. * Fix utmp/wtmp updating on 64-bit platforms. Patch by Bill Nottingham and Fedora. * Avoid unchecked return value from malloc() in utmpdump. Patch from Christian 'Dr. Disk' Hechelmann and Fedora. * Make sure to use execle and no execl when passing environment to the new process. Patch from RedHat. * Correct init to make sure the waiting status is preserved across re-exec. Patch from RedHat. * Correct init to avoid race condition when starting programs during boot. Patch from SuSe. * Allow 'telinit u' in runlevels 0 and 6. Patch from Thomas Hood. * Change install rules to make pidof an absolute symlink. Patch from Thomas Hood. * Improve error message from init if fork() fail. Patch found in Suse. * Add support for SE Linux capability handling. Patch from Manoj Srivastava, adjusted to avoid aborting if SE policy was loaded in the initrd with patch from Bill Nottingham and Fedora. * Add -c option to pidof for only matching processes with the same process root. Ignore -c when not running as root. Patch from Thomas Woerner and Fedora. * Adjust init to terminate argv0 with one 0 rather than two so that process name can be one character longer. Patch by Kir Kolyshkin. * Make sure bootlogd exit with non-error exit code when forking of the child successfully. * Add bootlogd option -s to make it possible to control the use of fdatasync(). Patch from Thomas Hood. * Add bootlogd option -c to tell it to create the log file if it does not exist. Patch from Thomas Hood. * Let bootlogd also look at ttyB* devices to work on HPPA. Patch from Thomas Hood. * Change init to use setenv() instead of putenv, make sure the PATH value is usable on re-exec. Patch from Thomas Hood. * Add usleep in killall5 after killing processes, to force the kernel to reschedule. Patch from SuSe. * Modify pidof to not print empty line if no pid was found. * Modify init and sulogin to fix emergency mode's tty, making sure ^C and ^Z work when booting with 'emergency' kernel option. Patch from Samuel Thibault. * Modify init to allow some time for failed opens to resolve themselves. Patch from Bill Nottingham and Fedora. * Modify init to shut down IDE, SCSI and SATA disks properly. Patches from Sebastian Reichelt, Werner Fink and SuSe. * Modify wall to use UT_LINESIZE from instead of hardcoded string lengths. Patch from SuSe. * Change wall to make halt include hostname in output. * Change killall to avoid killing init by mistake. Patch from SuSe. * Change killall5 to use the exit value to report if it found any processes to kill. Patch from Debian. * Add option -o opmitpid to killall5, to make it possible to skip 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. Patch from Debian and Goswin von Brederlow with changes by Kel 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. Patch by Dale R. Worley and Fedora. * Let sulogin fall back to the staticly linked /bin/sash if both roots shell and /bin/sh fail to execute. -- Petter Reinholdtsen Sun, 12 Jul 2009 19:58:10 +0200 sysvinit (2.86) cistron; urgency=low * 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 , 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 * 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) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Fri, 30 Jul 2004 14:14:58 +0200 sysvinit (2.85) cistron; urgency=low * Add IPv6 support in last(1) * Sulogin: even if the root password is empty, ask for a password- otherwise there is no way to set a timeout. * Removed support for ioctl.save. * Turned of support for /etc/initrunlvl and /var/run/initrunlvl * Fixed warts in dowall.c ("Dmitry V. Levin" ) * Fix init.c::spawn(). The "f" variable was used both as file descriptor and waitpid(2) return code. In certain circumstances, this leads to TIOCSCTTY with wrong file descriptor (Vladimir N. Oleynik). * Fix fd leak in sulogin (Dmitry V. Levin). * More error checking in all wait() calling code (Dmitry V. Levin). * Fix argv[] initialization in spawn() (Dmitry V. Levin). * Change strncpy to strncat in most places (Dmitry V. Levin). -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 15 Apr 2003 16:37:57 +0200 sysvinit (2.84) cistron; urgency=low * Don't use /etc/initlvl interface for telinit; only use /dev/initctl, and give a clear error when that fails. * Add -i/--init command line flag to init - this tells init 'behave as system init even if you're not PID#1'. Useful for testing in chroot/jail type environments. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 27 Nov 2001 13:10:08 +0100 sysvinit (2.83) cistron; urgency=low * Fix bug in shutdown where it didn't check correctly for a virtual console when checking /etc/shutdown.allow * Fix race condition in waitpid() [Andrea Arcangeli] * Call closelog() after openlog()/syslog() since recent libc's keep the logging fd open and that is fd#0 aka stdin. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 2 Oct 2001 23:27:06 +0200 sysvinit (2.82) cistron; urgency=low * Print out correct version number at startup. * Fix spelling of initttab in init(8) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Thu, 23 Aug 2001 17:50:44 +0200 sysvinit (2.81) cistron; urgency=low * Fix typo/bug in killall5/pidof, -o option failed to work since 2.79. Reformatted source code to prevent this from happening again. * shutdown.8: applied redhat manpage update * sulogin: applied redhat sysvinit-2.78-sulogin-nologin.patch * sulogin: applied redhat sysvinit-2.78-notty.patch * sulogin: applied redhat sysvinit-2.78-sigint.patch sysvinit (2.80) cistron; urgency=low * Grammar/spelling fixes in shutdown.c (Christian Steinrueck) * Don't set controlling tty for non-(sysinit,boot,single) runlevels -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Thu, 26 Jul 2001 13:26:56 +0200 sysvinit (2.79) cistron; urgency=low * New upstream version * several fixes to wall by Tim Robbins * Several extra boundary checks by Solar Designer * Make /dev/console controlling tty * Stricter checks on ownership of tty by mesg(1) * Documented and restricted -n option to wall(1) * Make it compile with glibc 2.2.2 * Document IO redirection in wall manpage (closes: #79491) * Update README (closes: #85650) * Fix init.8 manpage (closes: #75268) * Fix typo in halt(8) manpage (closes: #67875) * Check time argument of shutdown(8) for correctness (closes: #67825) * Check for stale sessions in last(1) (Chris Wolf ) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Wed, 4 Jul 2001 15:04:36 +0200 sysvinit (2.78-2) frozen unstable; urgency=high * Change "booting" to "reloading" message at reload * Add "-z xxx" dummy command line argument (closes: #54717) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Fri, 11 Feb 2000 12:17:54 +0100 sysvinit (2.78-1) unstable; urgency=low * 2.78 will be the new upstream version, I'm skipping 2.77 * Shutdown now calls sync before switching the runlevel to 0 or 6, or before unmounting filesystems if -n was used (closes: #46461) * Some cosmetic changes to init.c (closes: #32079) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Thu, 30 Dec 1999 20:40:23 +0100 sysvinit (2.77-2) unstable; urgency=low * Fix last -i option -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 5 Oct 1999 21:51:50 +0200 sysvinit (2.77-1) unstable; urgency=low * Write reboot record into utmp file as well to make rms happy * Fork and dump core in / if SIGSEGV is received for debugging purposes * Patch by Craig Sanders for "last" -i option -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Wed, 4 Aug 1999 11:16:23 +0200 sysvinit (2.76-4) unstable; urgency=low * Change dowall.c to handle Unix98 ptys correctly * Add comment in rcS about usage of setup.sh and unconfigured.sh * Shutdown now removes nologin file just before calling telinit * SEGV handler now tries to continue after sleep of 30 seconds. On a 386-class processor it also prints out the value of EIP. * Fix for racecondition in check_init_fifo() by Richard Gooch -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Sat, 8 May 1999 17:22:57 +0200 sysvinit (2.76-3) frozen unstable; urgency=high * Small bugfix to last.c courtesy of Danek Duvall -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 12 Jan 1999 12:12:44 +0100 sysvinit (2.76-1) frozen unstable; urgency=high * Fix bug in check_pipe() which crashes init on the Alpha. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 3 Nov 1998 11:09:13 +0100 sysvinit (2.75-4) unstable; urgency=low * Change sulogin password buffer to 128 characters. * Don't print control characters in dowall.c * Try to open getenv ("CONSOLE"), /dev/console and /dev/tty0 in order. For backwards compatibility when you try to boot a 2.0.x kernel with a linux > 2.1.70 /dev/console device. * Change src/Makefile for non-debian systems (mainly, RedHat) * Try to create /dev/initctl if not present; check every time to see if the dev/ino of /dev/initctl has changed and re-open it. This should help devfs a bit. * Send SIGUSR1 to init at bootup to let it re-open /dev/initctl; again in support of devfs. * Moved pidof to /bin (it's only a link to killall5 anyway) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Mon, 5 Oct 1998 14:03:14 +0200 sysvinit (2.75-2) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * Fix last.c again. * Add check to see if /dev/initctl is really a FIFO * In ifdown.c first down all shaper devices then the real devices -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 2 Jun 1998 22:43:01 +0200 sysvinit (2.75-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Rewrote last.c to be much more memory friendly and correct, thanks to Nick Andrew and David Parrish * Fixes bugs: #21616: sysvinit: sulogin thinks md5 root password is bad #21765: sysvinit: Typo in `killall5.c' #21775: sysvinit: sysvinit does not support MD5 hashed passwords #21990: /usr/bin/last: unnecessary memset and off-by-one bug #22084: sysvinit 2.74-4: SIGPWR missing on sparc #21900: init, powerfail events, and shutdown.allow #21702: init 0 does not work as expected... #21728: sysvinit: Typo in `init.c' #22363: sysvinit: discrepance btw. manpage and /sbin/init -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 19 May 1998 11:02:29 +0200 sysvinit (2.74-4) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * Add -o option to last to process libc5 utmp files. * Buffer overflow fixed in init.c (not very serious; only exploitable by root). Thanks to Chris Evans -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Wed, 15 Apr 1998 17:04:33 +0200 sysvinit (2.74-1) unstable; urgency=low * Should compile with glibc 1.99 :) * Change behaviour of reboot(1) and halt(1) so that the default when the runlevel can't be determined is to call shutdown. * Added re-exec patch from Al Viro (21 Feb 1998): 'U' flag added to telinit. It forces init to re-exec itself (passing its state through exec, certainly). May be useful for smoother (heh) upgrades. 24 Feb 1998, AV: did_boot made global and added to state - thanks, Miquel. Yet another file descriptors leak - close state pipe if re_exec fails. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Thu, 12 Mar 1998 17:42:46 +0100 sysvinit (2.73-2) unstable; urgency=low * Change _NSIG to NSIG for 2.1.x kernel includes. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Thu, 8 Jan 1998 16:01:02 +0100 sysvinit (2.73-1) unstable; urgency=low * Use siginterrupt, now that system calls are restarted by default. Main symptom was that the sulogin timeout didn't work but there might have been more hidden problems. * Kill process immidiately if turned off in inittab * Fixed sulogin check on tty arg. * Use strerror() instead of sys_errlist * wall now supports a '-n' option to suppress [most of] the banner. Debian doesn't use sysvinit's wall, but apparently Redhat does. * Add '-F' (forcefsck) option to shutdown * Close and reopen /dev/initctl on SIGUSR1 (mainly for a /dev in ram) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Sat, 3 Jan 1998 16:32:39 +0100 sysvinit (2.72-3) unstable; urgency=low * Add extra fork() in dowall.c to avoid hanging in rare cases -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Wed, 22 Oct 1997 14:44:00 +0200 sysvinit (2.72) unstable; urgency=low * Applied manual page patches by Bill Hawes . Thanks Bill! * Applied patches to the sample Slackware scripts by "Jonathan I. Kamens" * Fix halt and reboot runlevels 0 & 6 check. * Only say "no more processes left in runlevel x" once * Fix race condition with SIGCHLD in spawn() (thanks to Alon Ziv ) * Compress all manpages (missed 2) * Compiled for libc6 * Added poweroff patch by Roderich Schupp -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Sun, 12 Oct 1997 17:20:17 +0200 sysvinit (2.71-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Print 2.71 instead of 2.70 on startup :) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Mon, 5 May 1997 12:45:25 +0200 sysvinit (2.71-1) frozen unstable; urgency=high * Added code for updwtmp() in utmp.c for glibc (2.0.3) * Fixed all programs to use functions from utmp.c and getutent() * Do not try to clean up utmp in init itself (Bug#9022) * Removed sync() from main loop. * Hopefully fixes bug #8657 (shutdown signal handling) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Sat, 26 Apr 1997 19:57:27 +0200 sysvinit (2.70-1) unstable; urgency=low * Respawn fix * Removed StUdLy CaPs from source code * Moved files in source archive around * Fixes for glibc (utmp handling, signal handling). * Fixed '-d' option to last (now also works without '-a'). * Added extra checking in last.c to prevent showing dead entries -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Fri, 7 Feb 1997 15:31:30 +0100 sysvinit (2.69-1) frozen unstable; urgency=medium * Fixed bug that can throw X in a loop (or any other app that reads from /dev/tty0) -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Sun, 1 Dec 1996 15:32:24 +0100 sysvinit (2.67-1) frozen unstable; urgency=high * Fixes problem with /dev/console being controlling terminal of some daemons * Puts copyright file in the right place -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Fri, 15 Nov 1996 12:23:33 +0100 sysvinit (2.66-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Skipped 2.65. A development 2.65 got out by accident and is apparently being used.. * Also compiles and runs with GNU libc (and on the Alpha) * Fixed dowall.c not to exit when getpwuid() fails and uid == 0. * Fixed init panic'ing on empty lines in /etc/inittab * Changed default PATH to include /usr/local/sbin * Set /dev/console as controlling terminal for sysinit,bootwait,wait,powerwait This allows using ^C to interrupt some parts of eg the boot process. * Remove old symlink in /var/log/initlvl; let init check both /var/log and /etc itself. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg Tue, 29 Oct 1996 13:46:54 +0100 2.66 29-Oct-1996 - Skipped 2.65.

Examples are in two directories: etc (normal) and etc-sysv (sysv style scripts). - runlevel 0 = halt, 1 = single user, 6 = reboot. - added support for serial console. - updated Propaganda, manpages. - added shutdown access control. 2.4 24-May-93 - Send out the official version into the world as 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. - Going single user now kills _all_ processes. - Added '-t secs' option to all commands. - This version is stable enough to post. 2.2 02-Mar-93 - Made wait()'s asynchronous - Changed whole thing to one big state machine - 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.
