sysvinit--linux系统下的init

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 <[e-mail]>, 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 <[e-mail]>
  * 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)

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" <[e-mail]>)
  * 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).

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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  Tue,  2 Oct 2001 23:27:06 +0200

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <[e-mail]>  Thu, 30 Dec 1999 20:40:23 +0100

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]> and
    David Parrish <[e-mail]>
  * 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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  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 <[e-mail]>  Wed, 22 Oct 1997 14:44:00 +0200

sysvinit (2.72) unstable; urgency=low

  * Applied manual page patches by Bill Hawes <[e-mail]>.  Thanks Bill!
  * Applied patches to the sample Slackware scripts by
    "Jonathan I. Kamens" <[e-mail]>
  * 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 <[e-mail]>)
  * Compress all manpages (missed 2)
  * Compiled for libc6
  * Added poweroff patch by Roderich Schupp <[e-mail]>

 -- Miquel van Smoorenburg <[e-mail]>  Sun, 12 Oct 1997 17:20:17 +0200

sysvinit (2.71-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
