(* released Slackware-6.1.0-beta *)
----------------------------
Sun Sep 5 21:07:12 CDT 1999
a1/etc.tgz: Add xterm-color as an alias for xterm in basic /etc/termcap.
Remove nis/nisplus from the default /etc/nsswitch.conf.
n1/ftchmail.tgz: Added fetchmail-5.0.7.
n1/tcpip1.tgz: Edit /etc/inetd.conf to remove obsolete in.nntp example.
n1/tcpip2.tgz: Add ttysnoop_0.12c-6.
Remove fetchmail-4.6.3.
Add sample /etc/nsswitch.conf-nis, and remove nis/nisplus
from the default /etc/nsswitch.conf.
xap1/tkdesk.tgz: Recompile and add symlinks so that tkdesk can find the tcl
and tk files.
----------------------------
Sat Sep 4 13:03:18 CDT 1999
a1/bin.tgz: Add a copy of 'tput' from the ncurses package so that 'clear' and
'reset' work properly even if ncurses is not installed.
----------------------------
Fri Sep 3 17:14:48 CDT 1999
n1/tcpip1.tgz: Fix wu-ftpd to log to /var/log/xferlog.
----------------------------
Thu Sep 2 21:31:18 CDT 1999
bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.boot: Removed, mkisofs makes this.
bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.img: Have 'setup' add this to /etc/fstab:
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
note, this *will* produce an error message at boot time if you use a
kernel without Unix98 pty support. But, everything will work fine
whether you have Unix98 pty support in your kernel or not. Without
it, if you compile Unix98 pty support into the kernel you'll start
getting "telnetd: no network ports available" when you try to telnet
in.
a1/bash.tgz: I've been talked into upgrading to bash-2.03 as the default
shell again. If anyone notices shell-related problems after this
(especially with scripts), please let me know. I've noticed that using less
to look at .tgz files can spout an error when you leave with 'q', but
nothing too problematic so far.
a1/bash1.tgz: Retained bash-1.14.7 as /bin/bash1 as a backup.
a1/devs.tgz: chmod 666 /dev/ptmx.
a1/glibcso.tgz: Add /usr/libexec/pt_chown.
a1/hdsetup.tgz: Bump numbers to 6.0.0-beta (some of them anyway ;),
fixed annoying /dev/cdrom -> /dev/ bug.
a1/kbd.tgz: If a screen font wasn't chosen in the fontconfig menu, don't
load one by default.
d1/glibc.tgz: chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/pt_chown. This is needed for Unix98
pty support, which we're enabling. Unfortunately, a method has been
demonstrated where if root is using programs that open old style ptys, a
local user can exploit pt_chown to write to the process connected to that
pty. This is expected to be fixed in the next version of glibc. Meanwhile,
be advised that using programs such as 'screen' that use old ptys as root
is not 100% safe.

Upgraded to XFree86 3.3.5.
xd1/xlkit.tgz: Added XFree86 3.3.5 server link kit.
rootdsks/color.gz: Have 'setup' add this to /etc/fstab:
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
note, this *will* produce an error message at boot time if you use a
kernel without Unix98 pty support. But, everything will work fine
whether you have Unix98 pty support in your kernel or not. Without
it, if you compile Unix98 pty support into the kernel you'll start
getting "telnetd: no network ports available" when you try to telnet
in.
(* released Slackware-6.0.0-beta *)

Wed Sep 1 20:10:17 CDT 1999
bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.img: Added preliminary bootable CD image.

----------------------------
Tue Aug 31 22:38:23 CDT 1999

----------------------------
Mon Aug 30 16:22:06 CDT 1999
n1/inn.tgz: Upgrade to newly released inn-2.2.1. (A security advisory was
issued for INN versions 2.2 and earlier)
----------------------------
Mon Aug 30 02:41:48 CDT 1999
n1/tcpip1.tgz: Install all tcp-wrappers utilities in /usr/sbin.
----------------------------
Mon Aug 30 02:07:19 CDT 1999
n1/tcpip1.tgz: Patched wu-ftpd-2.5.0 against buffer overflows.
----------------------------
Sat Aug 28 19:08:31 CDT 1999
a1/glibcso.tgz: Recompiled as i386-slackware-linux.
a1/zoneinfo.tgz: Removed obsolete Pacific-New timezone from installation menu.
d1/glibc.tgz: Recompiled as i386-slackware-linux.
chmoded 700 /usr/libexec/pt_chown, as we aren't (yet) using
Unix98 ptys. If root is running any applications that use the
old pty interface, a setuid pt_chown can be used to try to
compromise the machine.
rootdsks/color.gz: Added recompiled glibc libraries. This should now work
on ix86 < Pentium II.
----------------------------
Thu Aug 26 17:09:50 CDT 1999
contrib/afterstep.tgz: Added afterstep-1.0.
contrib/amp.tgz: Added amp-0.7.6.

contrib/up.tgz: Added up-0.3, a verbose system uptime reporting solution.
contrib/xfstt.tgz: Added xfstt-0.9.99.
a1/bin.tgz: Upgraded to dcron-2.3.3.
n1/apache.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.9.
----------------------------
Wed Aug 25 14:20:35 CDT 1999
bootdsks.144/*: Added a new set of 2.2.6 1.44 MB bootdisks.
kernels/*: Added a tree of precompiled kernels.
We still use 2.2.6 because Appletalk doesn't work in >2.2.6, and
there may still be other stability problems. Lack of working
Appletalk is the deciding factor, though.
a1/procps.tgz: Make ps quit complaining about System.map.
(* Released Slackware 5.2b *)
----------------------------
Tue Aug 24 18:19:26 CDT 1999
x1/xlib.tgz: Added default /var/X11R6/lib/xinit/.Xmodmap to restore backspace

Mon Aug 23 22:59:27 CDT 1999
x1/libc5x.tgz: Added package of libc5 compatibility X shared libraries.
x1/oldlibs6.tgz: Removed .sa and .a libraries, since nobody's going to try
to link libc4 stuff these days.
----------------------------
Mon Aug 23 22:14:34 CDT 1999
a1/kbd.tgz: Make rc.font run setfont verbosely.
a1/lilo.tgz: Fixed all the bugs David found in /sbin/liloconfig.
(* Released Slackware 5.2b *)
----------------------------
Mon Aug 23 03:42:12 CDT 1999
d1/ncurses.tgz: Support clean library replacement on a running system.
Remove libtermcap links. Ncurses' termcap support seemed a
bit flaky. Now I remember the last time this was tried. :)
d1/termcap.tgz: Put /usr/lib/libtermcap.a, /usr/lib/libtermcap.so, and
/usr/include/termcap.h back.
n1/tcpip1.tgz: Recompile just to be sure now that the ncurses/termcap/readline
reshuffling seems to be settled down. ;)
# These went by too fast to read anyway:
x1/x3dl.tgz: Remove dialog --infobox in install/doinst.sh.
x1/x8514.tgz: Remove dialog --infobox in install/doinst.sh.
x1/xagx.tgz: Remove dialog --infobox in install/doinst.sh.

----------------------------
Mon Aug 23 00:56:26 CDT 1999
a1/elflibs.tgz: Fix to installation script.
a1/hdsetup.tgz: Patched new cpkgtool to handle lack of a package database.
Bumped version number since installation now passes initial
testing.
a1/sysvinit.tgz: Go to single user mode with sulogin if there's an fsck
failure. Clear /var/log/setup/tmp at boot.
d1/glibc.tgz: in.comsat using /var/mail led to finding that
/usr/include/paths.h in glibc-2.1.1 set this incorrectly.
Patched.
d1/ncurses.tgz: Added /usr/lib/libtermcap.a -> /usr/lib/libncurses.a symlink
and /usr/lib/libtermcap.so -> /usr/lib/libncurses.so symlink.
d1/termcap.tgz: No longer link against libtermcap. Remove
/usr/lib/libtermcap.a, /usr/include/termcap.h.
n1/inn.tgz: Include a default history.{dir,pag}.
n1/sendmail.tgz: How about waiting until after we've installed the
/usr/bin/newaliases symlink before trying to run that
program? Doh!
n1/tcpip1.tgz: Recompiled with fixed /usr/include/paths.h header installed.
rootdsks/color.gz: Apparently one line of code in the new patches to cpkgtool
is not /bin/ash compatible, and I don't see an any way to
replace it without slowing it down substantially. So, on
the version of cpkgtool on the rootdisks, it must be
commented out. (and it isn't even *run* on the rootdisks)
(* Released Slackware 5.1a *)
----------------------------
Sun Aug 22 19:00:52 CDT 1999
a1/devs.tgz: Add devices for DAC960 RAID in /dev/rd/.
bootdsks.144/bare.i: Added framebuffer console support to kernel.
kernels/bare.i: Added bare.i bzImage, System.map, and config (.config).
----------------------------
Sun Aug 22 17:22:06 CDT 1999
a1/hdsetup.tgz: In pkgtool, change assumed initial package name length from
10 to 1. This allows more info on the package removal screen
if all the packages are within 8.3 filename standards.
(* cosmetic change *)
Added xap1/{diska1, maketag, maketag.ez, tagfile, tagfile.org}
Moved sources/ to source/, packages/ to slakware/.
This *should* install from install disks now, though it remains untested.
----------------------------
Sun Aug 22 00:13:54 CDT 1999
Added ap1/{diska1, maketag, maketag.ez, tagfile, tagfile.org}
Added d1/{diska1, maketag, maketag.ez, tagfile, tagfile.org}
d1/glibc.tgz: Added additional documentation in /usr/doc/glibc-2.1.1/.

libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so.
a1/kbd.tgz: Added kbd-0.99.
d1/termcap.tgz: Patched buffer overflow reported on BugTraq. (as it turns
out, Slackware wasn't vulnerable after all since we link
in.telnetd with libncurses, not libtermcap)
rootdsks/color.gz: Added glibc2-based rootdisk. Not much free space left
on this one... pcmcia support will be interesting.
----------------------------
Fri Aug 20 17:22:50 CDT 1999
a1/hdsetup.tgz: Added patches for cpkgtool from Ellen Geertsema to handle
packages with long names in the package removal menu.
Added /etc/slackware-version.
Bumped version numbers to Slackware 5.0.0.
Patched CD-ROM setup menu to make "NO" the default choice
when asking if the CD-ROM should be mounted at boot time.
Enlighten the user as to why answering "YES" can be bad.
(* Slackware 5.0.0a release *)
----------------------------
Fri Aug 20 16:21:46 CDT 1999
a1/sysvinit.tgz: Added support in rc.M for starting filesystem quotas, along
with enough documentation to make it pretty easy to set up.
Fixed quota shutdown sections of rc.6 and rc.K.

doesn't require local modifications to this file)
n1/tin.tgz: Added tinpre-1.4-19990805.
n1/trn.tgz: Added trn-3.6.
n1/wget.tgz: Added GNU wget-1.5.3.
(* N series packages complete *)

work on any system with a VESA complient video card and PS/2
type mouse.
----------------------------
Wed Aug 18 07:14:48 CDT 1999
y1/bsdgames.tgz: Added bsdgames-2.7.
----------------------------
Wed Aug 18 03:05:24 CDT 1999
Added HOWTO-INSTALL document. I actually wiped the laptop's drive and
reinstalled the glibc-beta, and ran into far less problems than I expected.

----------------------------
Mon Aug 9 14:12:59 CDT 1999
n1/tcpip1.tgz: /sbin/netconfig patched so that /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
determines the kernel version from a call to uname
instead of a static KVERSION= declaration.
----------------------------
Sun Aug 8 22:27:50 CDT 1999
n1/tcpip1.tgz: portmap patched for glibc2.
----------------------------

slakware/a2/grep.tgz: fgrep and egrep links replaced with actual binaries,
since it seems this trick no longer works with grep-2.3. NOTE: This
was a fairly major bug, and was impacting all sorts of things in subtle
(but bad) ways, so if you've encountered problems with libtool, configure
scripts, or get weird "missing prototypes" errors when you compile things,
this could be the cause. Anyone who installed the previous grep package
in the week that it was out has a broken system, and should upgrade to
this package immediately. Since 'installpkg' itself uses grep, install
the package twice to ensure everything goes into place properly.

slakware/a13/util.tgz: Modified /etc/rc.d/rc.serial to use ttyS* devices.
----------------------------
Sun Mar 28 19:00:43 CST 1999
rootdsks/color.gz, pcmcia.gz, text.gz, umsdos.gz: Run /sbin/rpc.portmap for
NFS installs.
slakware/a7/lilo.tgz: Modified liloconfig to handle the case where the system
has only SCSI hard drives, with an ATAPI CD-ROM drive on
/dev/hda.
slakware/a9/modules.tgz: Made some changes to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, mostly
so that people who wish to continue running 2.0.36
won't run into problems.
slakware/n9/tcpip2.tgz: Upgraded to dhcp-2.0b1pl18.
Added dhcpcd-1.3.17-pl5.
Patched netwatch to compile on 2.2.x machines.
Patched sliplogin to compile on 2.2.x machines.
slakware/xv1/xvol32.tgz: Renamed /usr/openwin/bin/msgfmt to
/usr/openwin/bin/msgfmt-openlook so various

msgfmt.

bootdsks.{12,144}/net.i: Rebuilt from new ARCnet enabled kernel.
----------------------------
Sun Mar 28 01:18:06 CST 1999
slakware/a4/elflibs.tgz: Move libc and libm into place in a way that shouldn't
confuse the new implementation of UMSDOS quite as
much. (Doesn't seem like the UMSDOS implementation

target partition whenever possible. This prevents the installation
system from running out of /tmp space from large tagfiles or
installation scripts. On the UMSDOS rootdisk, umssync in /mnt in
addition to /mnt/linux. (but in /mnt, don't recurse). This is
required to prevent the 2.2.x kernel from complaining if the
permissions on the /mnt/linux/ directory itself are changed.
bootdsks.144/.eltorito/eltorito.img: Merged changes from new color.gz.
slakware/a7/lilo.tgz: Enabled text-mode configuration menus from text.gz,
Added liloconfig.tty script to start liloconfig in
text mode.
slakware/a12/shadow.tgz: Upgraded to shadow-19990307. Fixed non-Y2K date
entry in /usr/sbin/adduser. (It still worked the
other way, but wasn't politically correct :)

/usr/games/lib/fortunes/linuxcookie, rebuilt the
linuxcookie.dat file.
----------------------------
Fri Mar 26 20:07:41 CST 1999

clients.
----------------------------
Thu Mar 25 23:26:59 CST 1999
slakware/n4/netatalk.tgz: Upgraded to netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3.

Upgraded to hdparm-3.5.
slakware/a5/hdsetup.tgz: Patched 'removepkg' to use $ROOT variable for
removing packages from filesystems other than /.
slakware/a5/pnp.tgz: Upgraded to isapnptools-1.18.
slakware/a7/ibcs2.tgz: SMP iBCS module moved into /lib/modules/2.2.3/smp/,
where 'depmod -a' won't complain about it at boot time
on non-SMP machines. If SMP is detected, the SMP
module will be loaded from the new location.
slakware/a8/procps.tgz: Upgraded to procps-2.0.1.
slakware/a10/sysvinit.tgz: Added section to rc.S for comfiguring ISA
Plug-and-Play devices.
slakware/a13/util.tgz: Upgraded to util-linux-2.9i.
Removed /bin/kill, since there's now a better one
included in the procps package.
slakware/n4/ppp.tgz: Upgraded to ppp-2.3.6.
----------------------------
Wed Mar 24 20:00:19 CST 1999

slakware/d1/autoconf.tgz: Added GNU autoconf-2.13.
slakware/d1/automake.tgz: Added GNU automake-1.4.
slakware/d1/lthreads.tgz: Added linuxthreads-0.71.

slakware/tcl1/tcl.tgz: Upgraded to tcl-8.0.5.
slakware/tcl1/tk.tgz: Upgraded to tk-8.0.5.

slakware/a2/e2fsbn.tgz: Upgraded to e2fsprogs-1.14.
slakware/a2/etc.tgz: Now that netscape is in /usr/lib/netscape, MOZILLA_HOME

slakware/n7/samba.tgz: Upgraded to samba-2.0.3.
[NOTE: This package has grown quite a bit, and no longer fits on a
floppy. As a result, I'm considering collapsing the N series into
a single directory and letting the packages grow larger than a
floppy disk. I know this creates problems for people who still use
floppy installation, but splitting up packages into floppy sized
chunks creates problems for everyone else, and is a major
maintenance hassle. ]
slakware/xap1/libgr.tgz: .soname for JPEG library v6b changed from
libjpeg.so.6.0.1 to libjpeg.so.62.0.0 to avoid a conflict with
the v6a libjpeg.so.6.0.1 supplied by KDE.

slakware/n8/tcpip1.tgz: Upgraded to wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr14.
[The last rebuild of this package was compiled using the header files from
Linux-2.2.1. For some reason, this caused wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr12 to
hangup the FTP session as soon as the 'ls' command was used. Upgrading to
wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-18-vr14 fixed the problem. ]

one with the KDE screensaver, for example. Still, KDE is pretty nice. :)
These security problems will likely be gone in the next KDE release.

parallel-port IDE devices.
kernels/pportide.i/bzImage: (bugfix) Added missing parallel-port IDE drivers.
----------------------------
Wed Oct 28 04:20:01 CST 1998

----------------------------
Tue Oct 27 15:46:48 CST 1998
slakware/a1/aaa_base.tgz: Add directories for package scripts.
slakware/a3/bin.tgz: Added apmd_3.0beta3-2 and asapm-2.2.

HP870, HP890, HP1100 and HP1600 color printers.
slakware/xap1/fvwm95.tgz: Added a sample system.fvwm95rc-apm-battery in
/var/X11R6/lib/fvwm95/. This version adds a power meter to the
fvwm95 button bar.
slakware/xap1/gs_x11.tgz: Added support for HP HP670, HP690, HP850, HP855,
HP870, HP890, HP1100 and HP1600 color printers.

----------------------------
Sun Oct 25 18:55:45 CST 1998
Package directories in A and N package series sorted to allow A directories
to fit on 1.2MB or 1.44MB floppies, and N directories to fit on 1.44MB floppies.
slakware/a1/aaa_base.tgz: Pine requires that /var/spool/mail be chmod 1777 for
correct mailbox locking. While I have some reservations about
allowing yet another place for users to hide huge files, I've made
the change as there are good technical reasons behind it -- the
previous more restrictive permissions could result in lost mail.
slakware/a3/bin.tgz: Upgraded /usr/sbin/makewhatis to version 1.0h.
slakware/a4/less.tgz: /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh edited to use new '-y' option for
viewing bzip2 decompressed tar files.
slakware/a5/hdsetup.tgz: In /usr/lib/setup/cpkgtool, "disk sets" renamed to
"package series" in a few places. SeTconfig now sets mail spool
permissions to 1777.
slakware/ap1/manpages.tgz: Upgraded to man-pages-1.21.
slakware/x1/x332prog.tgz: In /var/X11R6/lib/config, the files Imake.tmpl,
Motif.tmpl, and Motif.rules are all the Lesstif versions now, as
these are the ones most commonly used with Linux. Commercial
versions of Motif should install their own Motif.tmpl and
Motif.rules, but we retain the OSF versions that ship with XFree86
just in case (with a .osf extension).
rootdsks/color.gz, pcmcia.gz, umsdos.gz: Changed "setup" to create the mail
spool directory with correct permissions for file locking.
----------------------------
Sun Oct 25 00:54:08 CDT 1998
slakware/a4/glibc1.tgz: Runtime support libraries from glibc-2.0.7pre6.

slakware/a8/procps.tgz: Upgraded to procps-1.2.9. No longer includes psupdate
or xcpustate (both pretty useless, IMHO).
slakware/a8/scsi.tgz: Upgraded generic SCSI Linux kernel to 2.0.35.
slakware/a8/scsi.cfg: .config file to produce generic 2.0.35 SCSI kernel.
slakware/a10/sysvinit.tgz: Patches to /etc/rc.d/rc.cdrom.

----------------------------
Fri Oct 23 20:15:08 CDT 1998
slakware/ap1/cdutils.tgz: Upgraded cdrecord to version 1.6.1. It should now
support some parallel-port CD-R/RW drives (with an EPP
port 2x might work, and 1x should be pretty reliable)
slakware/n5/samba.tgz: Removed smbmount/smbumount man pages (these versions
won't be used until 2.2.x is the default kernel).
slakware/n6/tcpip2.tgz: Upgraded to fetchmail-4.6.3 and ipchains-1.3.5.
slakware/x1/x3328514.tgz, x332agx.tgz, x332bin.tgz, x332i128.tgz,

x332w32.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86 3.3.2 + patch 3.
slakware/xd1/x332lkit.tgz: Upgraded to XFree86 3.3.2 + patch 3.
slakware/x1/x332bin.tgz: Recompiled 'makedepend' to look for include files in
the gcc-2.7.2.3 include directory instead of the default gcc-2.7.2.1
include directory.
contrib/extra-X-servers/: Added binary-only (even though I'm disappointed to
see that) X servers for Intel i740 AGP and NeoMagic chipsets.

slakware/a9/modules.tgz: New modules for linux-2.0.35.
slakware/ap1/ispell.tgz: Compressed info file.
slakware/d1/egcs.tgz: Changed the filenames and links in /usr/bin to allow a
more peaceful coexistence with gcc-2.7.2.3. 'gcc' and 'g++' are now
links to a longer filename including the compiler's version number.
slakware/d1/gcc.tgz: Added gcc-2.7.2.3. Although I never encountered any
problems with egcs (well, other than the annoying string.h warnings :)
many of the kernel developers feel that compiling the kernel with a
gcc-2.7.x compiler is better tested and possibly more reliable. As a
result, gcc-2.7.2.3 is now provided as an alternative to egcs-1.0.3.
When this package is installed in addition to egcs-1.0.3, then by
default C code will be compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3, while C++,
objective C, and Fortran-77 will be compiled with egcs-1.0.3. If you
need to change this, aim the 'gcc' and 'g++' links at the compilers
you want to use, or set the compiler name in your Makefile to the
compiler you want, such as: GCC=gcc-egcs-1.0.3
slakware/d1/svgalib.tgz: Upgraded to svgalib-1.3.0.

Added "rpm2tgz" mode to produce output files with a .tgz extension.

slakware/a8/sysvinit.tgz: Moved to directory a10.
slakware/a8/diska8: edited.
slakware/a10/sysvinit.tgz: Moved here from directory a8.
/sbin/init has been recompiled as a static binary. This avoids problems
with the root partition not getting unmounted correctly at reboot time
with the latest development kernels. (The problem was caused by init
mmap()ing /etc/ld.so.cache before the file is deleted and then rebuilt.
This leaves init holding a file descriptor to a deleted file at
shutdown, preventing it from being unmounted, and leaving the filesystem
in an inconsistent state.

and --bunzip2, will remain the same)

Wed Sep 30 13:54:22 CDT 1998
slakware/n7/tcpip1.tgz: It appears a new denial-of-service attack against
the NFS daemon rpc.mountd has surfaced. This package
upgrades the NFS daemons to nfs-server-2.2beta37,
which should fix the problem.
slakware/n7/diskn7: edited.

slakware/a2/elflibs.tgz: Fixed /lib/libgdbm.so.1.7.3 that was missing
some symbols.
----------------------------
Thu Sep 3 22:02:34 CDT 1998
rootdsks/color.gz, umsdos.gz, pcmcia.gz: Patched setup program to mount
mount source partitions as read-only when using NFS or a hard-drive
partition as the installation source.
slakware/a4/hdsetup.tgz: Make setup mount all source partitions read-only.
----------------------------
Thu Sep 3 20:27:12 CDT 1998
slakware/a4/gpm.tgz: Upgraded to gpm-1.14. In addition, the gpm setup
script no longer adds the '-R' option to the gpm command line
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local -- too many people had trouble with this.
Instead, it adds a commented out example of how to use '-R' with X.
slakware/a4/diska4: edited.
----------------------------
Tue Sep 1 20:11:47 CDT 1998
slakware/a6/diska6: edited.
slakware/a6/minicom.tgz: Upgraded from minicom-1.80.1 to minicom-1.81.1.

(the /dev/cua* devices are rw for group uucp)

initializing TCP/IP.
slakware/a11/util.tgz: Upgraded to use /bin/hostname from net-tools-1.45.
slakware/n7/tcpip.tgz: Patched NFS (rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd) against security
holes reported on BugTraq.
Upgraded net-tools-1.432 to net-tools-1.45.
Upgraded netkit-routed-0.10 to netkit-routed-0.12.
----------------------------
Fri Aug 21 22:26:57 CDT 1998
slakware/y1/bsdgames.tgz: Renamed a couple of files:
cd /usr/games/lib/fortunes
mv limerick limerick-o
mv limerick.dat limerick-o.dat
'limerick' was a new fortune database with the last update of this
package. Many of them could be considered offensive, but in spite of
the rot13 encryption present in the file, fortune doesn't realize it's
a potentially offensive database without the '-o' suffix, so people
were getting these at random, especially if some of the larger
alternate databases (like fortunes2) were removed. Anyway, sorry.
Hope nobody was too terribly shocked. :^)
----------------------------
Wed Aug 19 17:08:06 CDT 1998
slakware/n7/tcpip1.tgz: /usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd: Security patches merged in.
This daemon is not enabled by default, but if you've

this new version.
/usr/sbin/rpc.portmap: Host access control added.
----------------------------
Mon Aug 17 13:47:18 CDT 1998
contrib/glibc-devel-2.0.5c.tgz: Added missing header files in /usr/include.
----------------------------
Sun Aug 16 15:02:58 CDT 1998

user nobody, group bin. This fixes the updatedb cron
job that runs as user nobody.
(chown nobody.bin /var/spool/locate)
----------------------------
Sat Aug 15 17:41:34 CDT 1998
rootdsks/color.gz, umsdos.gz, pcmcia.gz: Fixed a bug in 'setup' that can
result in lost files on a DOS/Windows partition if you use it as the
source (with the "install from a hard drive partition" option), enter
an incorrect directory path to the packages, and then attempt to
reselect the source within the same run of setup.
slakware/a4/hdsetup.tgz: Although there doesn't seem to be any way for the
above bug to occur from with the hard-drive version of setup (where
a source DOS/Win partition will already be mounted within the
directory structure), it's been patched in hdsetup.tgz anyway.
----------------------------
Thu Jul 30 14:29:41 CDT 1998
slakware/tcl1/tcl.tgz: Man pages fixed. (man.macros needed to be included

slakware/a4/hdsetup.tgz: Patched the same problem in the hard drive version of
"setup" although it's not likely to affect an
installed system anyway.
slakware/f1/maketag, maketag.ez: Changed menu choice from incorrect "howto1"
to "howto".
----------------------------
Tue Jul 14 11:42:57 CDT 1998
slakware/a2/elflibs.tgz: Removed bogus declarations of snprintf() and
vsnprintf() from libdb.so.1.85.4. (these could
interfere with the secure versions in libc.so
depending on the link order used at compile time)
slakware/d1/libc.tgz: Removed bogus declarations of snprintf() and vsnprintf()
from libdb.so.1.85.4 and libdb.a.
----------------------------
Thu Jun 25 15:38:02 CDT 1998

slakware/a1/etc.tgz: Added /etc/termcap-BSD.

----------------------------
Wed Mar 25 00:53:34 CST 1998
slakware/a1/aaa_base.tgz: Reverted to mtools-3.8, since mformat in version
3.9 seems to be having a few problems.

----------------------------
Sun Mar 22 14:15:29 CST 1998
Change to structure of /slakware: Other than the A series, all other Slackware
software series have been merged into single directories. This has been done
to accomodate software packages larger will fit on a 1.44 megabyte floppy
disk. So, the Slackware A series can still be installed for floppy disks, but
not the rest of it. Sorry to those still generating 100+ installation
floppies (are there any? :^) but fragmenting the distribution for
complete installation from floppy disks really isn't practical anymore.
As part of this update, most of the tagfiles, index files (diskap1, diskd1,
diske1, etc) and maketag/maketag.ez scripts were edited.
slakware/a1/aoutlibs.tgz: /usr/i486-linuxaout/ directory changed to the more
generic /usr/ix86-linuxaout/ structure used by the
Linux GCC team.

/usr/ix86-linuxaout/.
slakware/d1/libc.tgz: Upgraded to libc-5.4.44.
slakware/d1/perl.tgz: Upgraded to perl5.004_04, merged into a single package.
slakware/k1/diskk1: edited.
slakware/k1/maketag, maketag.ez: edited.
slakware/k1/tagfile, tagfile.org: edited.
slakware/k1/lx2033.tgz: Merged together all Linux 2.0.33 source into a single
package.
slakware/k1/linuxinc.tgz: Added redundant Linux 2.0.33 include files package.
slakware/n1/nn_nntp.tgz: Name changed from nn-nntp.tgz, since dashes are not
legal on ISO9660 filesystems, and Slackware package
names (at least within the /slakware area) follow
this standard. Package recompiled.
slakware/n1/nn_spool.tgz: Name changed from nn-spool.tgz. Missing manual pages
added. Package recompiled.
slakware/n1/trn_nntp.tgz: Name changed from trn-nntp.tgz. Package recompiled.

----------------------------

----------------------------
Wed Mar 18 16:52:55 CST 1998
slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: If /var/log/sulog doesn't exist, make it with mode 640.
This prevents lusers from trying to make it mode 666,
and covering their tracks after attempting to guess
your root password. (which, if it's any good, should be
a pointless waste of time anyway)
----------------------------
Fri Mar 13 00:13:19 CST 1998

----------------------------
Wed Mar 4 14:07:46 CST 1998
contrib/aps-4.91.tar.gz: Added precompiled Linux binaries of a2ps and

(/var/spool/mail/root.new) about setting up a Linux
printer using APSfilter.

slakware/a1/maketag, maketag.ez: edited.

slakware/d10/ncurses.tgz: Upgraded to version 1.9.9g. Added symlinks in
/usr/include and /usr/lib to allow ncurses to be
picked up by auto-configure scripts as the default
curses library.

old /usr/include/curses.h in /usr/include/oldcurses, and
libcurses.so and libcurses.a in /usr/lib/oldcurses.
These new locations should keep automated configure
scripts from spotting these and using them, when they'd
probably be better off using ncurses.
slakware/n4/tin.tgz: Recompiled to use ncurses.
slakware/n6/tcpip.tgz: Removed obsolete /etc/named.boot, added default
"news.my_news_server.com" in /etc/nntpserver (gives a

slakware/a4/hdsetup: /sbin/makebootdisk rewritten to look for an installed

contrib/bsdlpr.tgz: A port of BSD lpr-5.9, with security problems fixed.
NOTE: A *lot* of people out there have been reporting problems with
LPRng (the default print spooler in Slackware 3.2), that it doesn't
like their printcap, or text prints out with stair-stepping, or that
it just plain isn't working. While most of these problems are caused
by incorrect network configuration or other configuration errors (LPRng
works fine for me), it's clear that the old BSD lpr (used in earlier
Slackware releases) wasn't as picky about things and was easier to get
working, in general. So, now that the security holes in BSD lpr are
supposed to be fixed, I'm providing it here as a replacement package.
Considering the number of complaints regarding LPRng, BSD lpr may
become the default print spooler again when the next Slackware release
comes around. :^)
----------------------------
Tue Apr 29 17:19:17 CDT 1997
slakware/a1/devs.tgz: Fixed major numbers for: pcaudio pcmixer pcsp pcsp16

slakware/e8/emacsbin.tgz: Fixed /usr/doc/emacs-19.31 directory.
slakware/n5/tcpip.tgz: YP clients upgraded to version 2.2-970318.
slakware/x1/diskx1: edited.
slakware/x1/xlock.tgz: Upgraded to version 4.02. IMPORTANT: Everyone with
xlock installed on a Slackware 3.2 machine should
install the new xlock package immediately -- a major
security hole exists in the previous version that allows
anyone on your machine to become root!
slakware/x6/x32cfg.tgz: Added new xlock modes to system.fvwmrc.
slakware/x7/x32bin.tgz: SuperProbe chmoded 711.

to after the network initialization, in case /usr is
being mounted via NFS.
----------------------------
Thu Apr 17 19:01:18 CDT 1997
slakware/n5/tcpip.tgz: 'talk' was formatting text on the screen incorrectly;
recompiling with -I/usr/include/ncurses fixed it.
----------------------------
Thu Apr 17 12:26:37 CDT 1997
slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: YAAD (Yet Another adduser Adjustment :), the script
was not adding a user shell in /etc/passwd unless one
was specified. This resulted in users who could log
in just fine, but couldn't change their default
shell.
----------------------------
Wed Apr 16 13:58:55 CDT 1997
slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: Another adjustment to /usr/bin/adduser -- this time
merely cosmetic. A bad -z test in the script caused
an error message on the screen, but didn't affect the
script's function.
----------------------------
Mon Apr 14 12:34:28 CDT 1997
slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: Bug in /usr/sbin/adduser fixed -- new users were being
placed in the 'bin' group instead of 'users'.
----------------------------
Sat Apr 12 14:42:02 CDT 1997

slakware/a7/sysvinit.tgz: Starting of kerneld moved back where it was. Seems
kerneld might be needed to mount certain types of
filesystems. :^)
----------------------------
Mon Apr 7 23:33:07 CDT 1997
slakware/a7/sysvinit.tgz: Starting of kerneld moved further down in
/etc/rc.d/rc.S, after the filesystems have been
checked and mounted.
----------------------------
Mon Apr 7 23:12:37 CDT 1997
slakware/a8/shadow.tgz: Improved /usr/sbin/adduser script added,

Mon Mar 31 14:19:22 CST 1997
slakware/a1/bash.tgz: Downgraded from bash-2.0 to bash-1.14.7. Seems a lot
of people are encountering funny problems with scripts
using bash-2.0, so I'm replacing it with the earlier
stable version. If you want to use bash 2.0 anyway,
there will be a bash-2.0.tgz package in the contrib/
directory.

contrib/xgrabsc.tgz: Updated to xgrabsc 2.41.
----------------------------
Fri Oct 25 00:59:04 CDT 1996
slakware/a5/sysvinit.tgz: Moved PCMCIA init in rc.S back where it was, since
the new location caused some problems since /var isn't
read-write at that point. Anyway, it appears that
there's really not a good reason to have the PCMCIA
init that early -- those devices really shouldn't be
in the /etc/fstab, but added by options in the scripts
found in /etc/pcmcia.
----------------------------
Thu Oct 17 17:32:55 CDT 1996
slakware/n6/apache.tgz: Moved init file to /etc/rc.d.
slakware/a5/sysvinit.tgz: Added rc.httpd to rc.M.
Added kerneld init to rc.S.
Moved PCMCIA init earlier in rc.S, before drive
checking.
Changed default permissions on rc.cdrom, since most
people (including myself :^) really don't like that
startup script.
bootdsks.12/: All 1.2 MB bootdisks replaced. I was finally able to reproduce
the problems people have reported with these disks, and tracked
it down to a bad BIOS in the machine used to generate the disks.
The old versions seemed only to boot on a few select machines
(like, unfortunately the ones used for testing) but these should
work in more machines. If you still run into problems, check
these things: 1> Is the floppy cable hooked up right?
2> Is DOS formatting the disks to the right
capacity? Sometimes it'll try to do 1.44 MB.
If that happens to you, you could try using the
1.44 MB boot images.
3> Is the floppy drive order switched in BIOS?
This doesn't seem to work for LILO/Linux.
slakware/f1/manyfaqs.tgz: Updated Linux FAQ.

added teTeX distribution.
slakware/ap5/diskap5: edited.
slakware/t{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}: REPLACED, with directories containing a new TeX
system based on Thomas Esser's teTeX distribution (version 0.4), with
xfig and transfig added. To upgrade an existing Slackware system to use
the new version of TeX, follow these simple instructions:
1. Remove the old TeX distribution:
cd /var/log/packages
removepkg nt?-*
2. Remove the old /usr/lib/texmf directory tree:
cd /usr/lib
rm -r texmf
3. Clean out any old temporary fonts:
cd /var/texfonts
rm -r *
4. Install the new teTeX distribution. Either
install all the packages with installpkg:
installpkg t?/*.tgz
Or, use setup to reinstall the new T series.
5. Log out, and then back in. This will add
/usr/lib/teTeX/bin to your $PATH. Then, you
can run texconfig to set your local preferences.
