base 1.5.1 -> 1.5.2
===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

    - usb package:
      Unload of low level drivers removed.
    - /var/install/bin/choose,
      /var/install/include/techo:
      Fixed problem with expand of "*".
    - /var/install/bin/system-devices-mount-usb:
      Added loading of uhci module.
      Find correct raw device.
    - New /sbin/hdparm 8.6, prev. version 3.9 had security problems.
    - /var/install/bin/deinstall-package:
      Give the full path to packagelib now.
    - edit-conf.cui, shellrun.cui:
      Some improvements have been applied to the shell-API and the
      debug facilities of these programs. Further a bug has been
      corrected that caused some obsure characters being displayed
      in check box and radio button controls. A bug in edit-conf.cui
      was corrected that crashes the config editor under certain
      circumstances when moving array values up or down.
    - /etc/init.d/modules:
      Using modprobe with kernel versions greater than 2.2.*.

base 1.5.0 -> 1.5.1
===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

    - show-doc.cui: a dynamically growing buffer has not been allocated when the
      first line of a document file was zero characters long. This caused the
      application to be terminated with a segmentation fault.
    - list-files.cui: accept multiple filters on command line in the form -f
      "filter1,filter2". This was originally implemented in list-files.c but was
      "optimized" away when list-files.cui was ported to libcui.
    - list-files.cui: fixed command line processing. Some long options did
      not work properly. The same applied to option '-w' that did not work at all
      and '-c' that was interpreted as '--color' instead of '--column'. Finally the
      option '--helpview' also turned out to have vanished somehow.
    - fixed erroneous tmp-file generation in script /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles
    - removing external mktemp package if exist (mktemp is included since 1.5.0)

      of package versions under version control has been improved.
    - /var/install/outdated-packages added, list-file for outdated packages
    - /var/install/bin/install-package
      outdated packages not longer 'hardcodet' use now /var/install/outdated-packages

    - CUI programs have been rewritten using a new library (libcui) that
      unifies curses console programming for eisfair. This affects the
      applications: show-menu.cui, show-doc.cui, edit-conf.cui, shellrun.cui.
    - ECE: there are two additional check rules available: READONLY and HIDDEN.
      When READONLY is stated in /etc/check.d/<package>, the corespondig
      value can't be modified within the config editor. When HIDDEN is stated,
      the value is not visible within the editor's config view.
    - ECE: the standard input dialog can be replaced with a user defined dialog
      controlled by a shell script. With little effort a package developer
      can supply selection list dialogs using this technique.
    - show-doc.cui: the documentation viewer can now also work as a log viewer,
      since it now handles big files without reading the whole content into
      memory. Additionally a build-in tail function tracks file modifications
      in real-time if desired.
    - show-doc.cui: the documentation viewer can apply a view filter that
      reduces text display to lines matching the filter.
    - show-doc.cui: the documentation viewer reads .gz and .bz2 files
      seamlessly.
    - shellrun.cui: is a new program that makes it possible to write shell
      scripts with a CUI user interface.

    Directive sharedscripts was added to avoid multiple restarts
    of /sbin/syslogd and /sbin/klogd. Duplicate
    SYSLOGD_DEST_#_LOGROTATE configurations are ignored.
  - pack-eis search:
    Keywords with spaces are handled correctly.
  - /var/install/bin/show-menu:
    Version and kernel information will be refreshed every time

- enhancements
  - added list-packages.cui:
    CUI program for faster list and upgrade packages
  - ECE:
    - Masks values with '*' if they are associated with a
      check rule named 'PASSWD'. Also a different dialog is used to edit
      masked values.
    - Array elements can now be reordered/sorted by pressing
      the F3 key and moving the element around (similar to show-menu.cui).
    - Simplified block comment handling.

      fli4l config files.
    - gzip: added gzip 1.3.5 with security patches for CVE-2006-4335,
      CVE-2006-4336, CVE-2006-4337 and CVE-2006-4338.
      Old version was 1.3.3.

- enhancements

    - ECE: the configuration is always checked when the program is being
      closed.

base 1.3.0 -> 1.3.1
===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

    - /var/install/include/configlib:
      correct typo

    - /tmp/install.sh:
      checking for directory rights with master list of pure
      1.3.0, because while installing packages tar without
      --no-overwrite-dir overwrote rights of existing directories

    - /var/install/bin/install-package:
      using tar with --no-overwrite-dir in versions, which recognize
      this option, to not overwrite existing directory rights

    - update/var/install/update/install-package:
      using tar with --no-overwrite-dir in versions, which recognize
      this option, to not overwrite existing directory rights

    - security update libssl


base 1.2.3 -> 1.3.0
===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

   - ECE:
      Create all values when expanding arrays, even if the
      value is invisible at the time of creation.
      Save temporary configuration file to /tmp/ece<pid>/<config>
      to avoid conflicts with other programs and processes.

- enhancements

    - /var/install/bin/deinstall-package:
      A new functionality was implemented, that checks, if an
      other package references the package that is going to
      be deinstalled. If such a reference exists, this will be
      noticed.
      The package description is extracted from the .info file
      using a new package library.

   - /var/install/bin/show-menu (Classic text style menu):
     Enhanced to support paging mode. If more than 18 menu entries
     exist, only up to 18 entries are displayed on each page.
     Using 'n=next page' respectively 'p=previous page' you are
     able to scroll through the pages.

   - /var/install/bin/doc:
     Modified, the word "Documentation" was replaced by "Document"
     for all messages, because all kind of files, not only package
     documentations, can be displayed using this script.
     The description of the script was enhanced. Error messages
     have been enhanced to show more details.

   - /var/install/bin/sort-menu:
     New, allows to sort menu entries from a given menu file.

     Usage: sort-menu menu-file

   - ECE:
     Environment configuration can now be edited with ECE in tolerant
     mode. This means, that there must no longer be an entry under
     /etc/check.d/environment for user defined variables. Further it is
     possible to create new variables by pressing 'F9'-Key.

   - /usr/local/bin/eischk:
     The limit of 2048 variables was removed.
     New, you can now use YESNO in an array.

   - /var/install/bin/list-packages:
     Enhanced to list upgradable packages.

   - /bin/gzip:
     New gzip 1.3.3 for files bigger than 4 GB. Old version was 1.2.4.

   - /bin/tar:
     New tar 1.15.91. Old version was 1.13.19.

     Version 1.15.91 is able to extract pathnames from splitted
     archives that are longer than 100 characters and that are
     spread over two archive files.

     When creating an archive the following message may appear:

     tar: 'long_pathname': file name too long to be stored
          in a GNU multivolume header, truncated

     When extracting files from the archive the following message
     may appear:

     tar: 'long_pathname' is possibly continued on this
           volume: header contains truncated name

     Attention:
     Users of package backup-zip have to upgrade to version 1.0.2
     or higher of package backup-zip because of the new version
     of tar.
     Existing archives should be deleted and replaced with
     new versions using the new tar, because old archives
     could be unusable.

   - /var/install/bin/show-menu.cui:
     A function has been added to reorder menu items within the current
     menu. This function is accessible by pressing the F3-key when the
     selection is over the item that has to be moved.

   - /var/install/bin/show-doc.cui:
     Dialog for text search added.

   - /var/install/bin/list-files.cui:
     New tool for listing+select files and directories.

   - Some new color constants have been added to the standard color
     profiles located under /var/install/styles. The profiles no
     longer contain the complete configuration for the curses menu and
     ECE programs, but only the color related options. When applied,
     the color profile options are merged into the menu's configuration
     (/etc/config.d/menu) by the script file
     /var/install/config.d/menu-update.sh. Then the script
     /var/install/config.d/menu.sh is called to recreates the file
     /etc/menu.conf.
     Due to this changes, the standard color profile selection menu
     /var/install/bin/system-base-set-menu-colors saw some
     modifications too.

   - /bin/star:
     New tool for the backup of files with access control list
     and extended attributes.

     Description from
     http://freshmeat.net/projects/star/?branch_id=9985&release_id=221326

     Star is a very fast, POSIX-compliant tar archiver. It saves many files
     together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual
     files from the archive. It includes command line interfaces for the "tar",
     "Sun-Tar", "cpio", "pax", and "gnutar" command-line syntax. It includes
     a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability
     to archive sparse files and ACLs, the ability to archive extended file
     flags, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
     recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote
     archives, and special features that allow star to be used for full
     and incremental backups.
     It includes the only known platform independent "rmt" server program.

   - /var/install/bin/check-version
     added check also for svn

- for package developers:

   - A new library named 'packagelib' was developed.
     This library contains functions for easy access
     to information stored in .info files.

   - /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles:
     The script was enhanced to create 'sudoers.*' files.

   - A new script /var/install/bin/check-package-usage was
     created. This script analyzes package dependencies.

   - /var/install/include/configlib:
      - added value for printgpl
        -conf:
         new function for printing an gpl header for config files
        -check:
         new function for printing an gpl header for check files
        -check_exp:
         new function for printing an gpl header for check exp files
        -check_ext:
         new function for printing an gpl header for check ext files
      - new functions
        printcustomgroup()  : print a configuration group header
        printcomment()      : print a comment
        setlinespacing()    : set linespaceing (on/off)

   - eischk was enhanced to handle dependencies (YESNO) in
     array constructions.

   - /var/install/include/eislib:
     New library eistime for date and time in ISO 8601 notation.
     Use ${EISDATE} for 2006-04-20 or ${EISTIME} for 21:30:45.

- notes:

   - The ECE preforms a background run of eischk to check the entire
     configuration only if the configuration has actually been modified
     from within the program. According to a decision made by the eisfair
     developer team, this is not enough. It should rather be, that the
     ECE performs the config checking every time the program is beeing
     closed.
     But since the date of release for this base update is too close and
     the modification takes the risk of new bugs, this issue will be
     put back for the next upcoming release.

    slabtop, snice, sysctl, tload, top, uptime, vmstat,
    w, watch.

  - Command wget (version 1.10.2) now supports files larger 2GB.

  - The settings of locale have been changed:

    prior  (1.1.5):           now     (1.2.0):
    ---------------           ----------------
    LANG=POSIX                LANG=C
    LC_CTYPE="C"              LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
    LC_NUMERIC="C"            LC_NUMERIC="C"
    LC_TIME="C"               LC_TIME="C"
    LC_COLLATE="C"            LC_COLLATE="C"
    LC_MONETARY="C"           LC_MONETARY="C"
    LC_MESSAGES="C"           LC_MESSAGES="C"
    LC_PAPER="C"              LC_PAPER="C"
    LC_NAME="C"               LC_NAME="C"
    LC_ADDRESS="C"            LC_ADDRESS="C"
    LC_TELEPHONE="C"          LC_TELEPHONE="C"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="C"        LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"     LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
    LC_ALL=C                  LC_ALL=

    By setting LANG instead of LC_ALL you are able to set
    different values to other variables independently (e.g. LC_COLLATE).
    Variables, that have no independent value are filled using
    LANG (this can be controlled using 'locale').
    LC_TYPE should not be changed!

  - Script /etc/init.d/console loads a font including the EURO-Sign.
    Thus the EURO-Sign can be displayed on the console.

    Change font to Courier New to see the EURO-Sign when
    using Putty.

 -  Module gconv was integrated. When setting LANG="de_DE@euro"
    all messages are displayed in German.
    Example:
    eis # df
    Dateisystem          1K-Blöcke   Benutzt Verfügbar Ben% Eingehängt auf
    [...]

  - A new hardware diagnostic program lists PCI-based components
    and tries to load appropriate kernel modules using a special
    database. Now with pciutils included.

  - A new version of /etc/pam.d/passwd was integrated. This version
    is able to apply password changes done for system users to
    samba users. This can only be done if the installed samba version
    contains the corresponding file /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so.

    If samba is not installed or an inadequate version of samba is
    used the following warnings are shown in /var/log/messages:
    passwd[768]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_smbpass.so)
    passwd[768]: PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so: cannot open
                 shared object file: No such file or directory]
    passwd[768]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so

    These messages can be ignored.

  - All tools and libraries to handle ACLs are integrated.

    Information about ACLs (Access Control Lists) can be found on:

    http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/chapter/fs_acl-de.pdf
    http://www.linuxwiki.org/ACL
    http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/     (very detailed)
    http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/acl.txt

  - Coreutils are linked using libacl and libattr. If files owning
    ACLs are moved or copied no ACLs are lost.

  - Script /etc/init.d/boot remounts all ext2/3 filesystems (except
    for /boot) using the option acl,user_xattr.
    This is only done if the kernel really supports ACLs.

    ATTENTION:
    ==========
    Because of remounting the filesystems there exists
    a difference between /etc/fstab and the options
    displayed using command mount.
    Please take care to use options "acl,user_xattr"
    when mounting filesystems manually.

    For example just typing "mount /<mountpoint>"
    does not mount the filesystem with ACLs because
    these options are _not_ contained in /etc/fstab.

- new features (setup/administration):

  - A new, curses based program show-menu.cui can be used
    as alternative to the classic style text menu. Please
    note that show-menu.cui is marked as beta version.
    Using menu "Set eisfair menu style" included in menu
    "Base configuration" you are able to switch between the
    two available variants.
    By activating the curses based menu you'll see a
    new menu item "Menu and color settings" in
    "Base configuration". This new menu item enables
    you to change the appearence of the menus.

  - After editing the configuration of a package the
    processes belonging to this package are only started
    if the variable START_<package> contains 'yes'.
    Otherwise the processes are stopped.

    The startup is only accomplished if the script /var/install/bin/edit
    is used and only if a variable named START_<package> is contained
    in the configuration file /etc/config.d/<package>.

    The package name is translated to uppercase.
    Example: package squid, variable START_SQUID is checked.

  - Function "list-packages" allows to display packages by
    categories (section).

- general bugfixes/corrections:

  - Function /var/install/bin/modify-user is able to scroll
    through the list of users if not all user information
    fits on the sceen.

  - /var/install/bin/system-devices-mount-usb allows
    to mount USB sticks even if /dev/sda[1] is already
    in use. It tries to mount using filesystem type "vfat"
    first; after this "auto" is used.

- for package developers:

  - <doc>-tag in menu files can be used omitting the filename.
    File '/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGE/$PACKAGE.txt' will be used
    as default.

  - The source codes (e.g. ece) are no longer delivered with
    package base. The existing source codes will be deleted.

  - By using the new script /var/install/bin/install-local-package
    it is possible to install pakages from a local directory.
    This can be done without creating file eis-list.txt manually
    before.
    You have to enter the name of the directory that contains
    the package and .info files. File eis-list.txt is created
    from all .info files and is displayed for selecting a
    package. The script remembers the name of the directory
    for later use in interactive mode.
    In addition it is possible to pass the directory name
    directly to install-local-package using a command line
    argument. Parameter (-keep-all) avoids install-local-package
    to remove eis-list.txt and index.txt after the installation
    process.
    If you want to integrate this installation method into
    your installation menu permanently use parameter
    '-add-menu'. To remove the new menu item use parameter
    '-del-menu'.
    For just generating index.txt and eis-list.txt use
    install-local-package with parameter '-no-install'.
    This switch avoids install-local-package from displaying
    the package choice.

    The different variants at a glance:

    install-local-package
      or
    install-local-package [-keep-all][-no-install] directory
      or
    install-local-package -add-menu
      or
    install-local-package -del-menu

    Options:  -add-menu   - add menu item to installation menu
              -del-menu   - remove menu item from installation menu
              -keep-all   - keep eis-list.txt and index.txt-Dateien
              -no-install - generate eis-list.txt and index.txt
                            but do not display the package choice

  - Script /var/install/bin/packeis-search accepts a package name
    (e.g. samba) when searching for packages

  - All scripts using output of 'ls -l' have to be verified:

    Because ACLs are supported by now an additional plus sign
    (+) might be displayed if a file really owns ACLs.

    pre 1.2.0:
    ls -l /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
    -rw-rwxr-- 1 root root 0 Oct 27 14:32 /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
             ^^^
    now:
    ls -l /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
    -rw-rwxr--+ 1 root root 0 Oct 27 14:32 /tmp/acltest/acl.txt
             ^^^

      and is correct now

    - Configuration Logrotate syslogd
      The configuration for rotation output file(s) of syslogd
      was faulty in case of messages were written to a device (e.g.

      or @Host)
      Generation of file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog was fixed

    - Correction for /var/install/bin/update-inittab
      A special error condition resulted in message:
      "/var/install/bin/update-inittab: [: too many arguments".
      The problem was fixed.


- new features:

    - at command
      The at command was not operable, because the necessary environment
      was missing and the atd daemon was never started.
      With the new base option START_ATD this can be controlled.
      Beside the at command atq (display open jobs), atrm (remove
      open jobs) and command batch were included.
      In file /etc/at.allow you have to add all those users that are
      allowed to use the at command (default: only root).

    - update/completition of the coreutils (version 5.2.1)

    - gettext (0.14.1) and libiconv (1.9.2) are included in package base

      This editor can be activated using the setup menu:
        -> System administration
        -> Base configuration
        -> Set eisfair configuration editor
      Choose ece from the list as your editor.
      Keep joe, vi or an other editor different from ece as fallback
      editor for ece is not able to work with all configuration files.

    - Default configurations for base (base, cron, environment) are now
      available. All these configurations are checked after changing.

    - In function "Remove package" it is now possible to choose
      a package on every page.

    - User administration now uses pwdutils (2.6.4) for create/delete/

    - User administration was extended by a menu item to change
      user parameters, e.g. comment, shell or home directory.


- for package developers:

    - New menu fileformat

      Based on the redesign of the menu fileformat now most common
      functions (doc, edit, menu, init.d) can be used without the
      need for a package specific script in /var/install/bin/.

      A suitable menu for ACFH is included.
      The ACFH scripts were adapted to the new menu fileformat.
      Usage of package names 'template' and 'master' now is prohibited
      using add_advancedconfigmenu and del_advancedconfigmenu
      for this could destroy some important files.

    - shell library /var/include/inetlib

      This library offers a collection of functions for determining
      current settings of network interfaces.

      In order to use this library the definitions have to be included
      into your shell script. This is done by executing
      . /var/install/include/inetlib

      The library inetlib provides the following functions:
      get_interfaces()       get list of interfaces
      get_interface()        get name of interface
      get_ipaddr()           get IP address of interface
      get_netmask()          get netmask of interface
      get_broadcast()        get boadcast address of interface
      get_network()          get network of interface

    - New version of library ncurses 5.4.0

    - Some more regular expressions from fli4l where added to base.exp

    - Extensions of script /var/install/bin/ask


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

===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

    - synchronisation between 1.0.8 of 2004/12/24 and 1.0.8 of 2004/12/31

    - Bugfix: Usage of wget with option -O

    - Correction of a faulty deinstall-script of package 'eisfax'

    - removed unnecessary debug output from /var/install/bin/remove-user

    - removed errors, added features to /var/install/bin/update-systemfiles

    - added primary handling for hosts.[allow|deny] in /tmp/install.sh


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


base 1.0.7 -> 1.0.8
===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

    - correction of permissions /dev/capi*
    - correction of permissions /var/run
    - correction of an infinite loop in the edit-script
    - correction in base.exp - ABS_PATH:
      "/" will be accepted as an absolute path.
    - On deleting an user (remove-user) now the according entries
      in /etc/group (created by "Add user to additional group")
      will be deleted.
    - A potential security leak in remove-user was closed (Interim
      file with wrong permissions)
    - 8 bit-charset support for the shell (bash) by changes
      in /etc/inputrc
    - if Kernel 2.4.x, then load rhinefet instead of via-rhine


- system boot:

    - new: during system boot (after mounting the filesystems) all
           scripts with the prefix S in /etc/init.d/boot.d are executed
           with parameter start (e.g. S01cleanup which deletes all
           remaining .pid-Files and Lock-Files).
           After execution of these files the scripts to reach a
           runlevel are executed (e.g. /etc/rc2.d).
           The scripts in /etc/init.d/boot.d are used to "clean up"
           during system boot prior starting all common services.


- New features setup/administration:

    - setup menu:
      Menu changes trough install/deinstall of packages now will
      be active immediately, new base and eiskernel versions will
      be displayed immediately.
      As a result a re-logn as user eis is not required anymore.

    - package-installation
      Due to security reasons (wget) the downloaded file will be
      named /tmp/package.tar.bz2gz.

    - package-installation: CDROM automount

    - support for ehci based usb host adapters

    - Packeis-search
      The new menu entry "Search packages with Pack-Eis" allows a
      direct search and installation of packages with pack-eis.

    - ACFH - Advanced Configuration File Handling
      The comparison of two configuration files was corrected. Both
      files now are sorted prior comparison. This prevents errors
      in some cases but does not keep the order of the original
      files in the result.

    - extension list-users:
      - The output if ftp is allowed (column FTP) now checks several
        parameters of the inet-package (FTP_USE_PAM and the file
        /etc/ftpuser, FTP_ALLOW_ROOT_ACCESS, FTP_ONLY_ANONYMOUS), as
        well as the entries in /etc/shells.
      - The new column Valid-PW shows per user if an valid password
        in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow exists. The value '*' or '!'
        in /etc/passwd indicates an invalid password.

    - changes add-user:
      Errors during password-entry can now be corrected. The query
      is repeated twice.


- for package developers:

    - extension of the ask-script
      ask can now be used for any question (not limited to yes/no):
      - choice between given options
      - free text enty
      - number enty (with min + max)

    - EISLIB - Include library for shellscripts
      - Centralization of the most common commands of package-scripts.
        All commands act specifically if called from tty or under
        control of a browser
      - anykey
      - clearhome
      - mecho: echo with predefined color values (accorting to status)
      - techo: output of tables

    - New interface for modification of system files added:
      - /etc/hosts.allow
      - /etc/hosts.deny
      - /etc/services
      - /etc/inittab

    - New script /var/install/bin/set-access-rights for setting
      file permissions based on a new file <package>-files.txt
      in /etc/filelist.d .

    - base.exp: Parameter "PORT" added. (numerical value 1-65535)

    - changed add-user:
      new option -d for creating an user without login authorization
      and therefore without interactive query of a password.

    - changed remove-group:
      With the option -f (force) now groups with ids less than 200
      or higher than 65534 can be deleted (groups for system users).
      This option should be used extremely cautious like the
      according option of remove-user.

    - require-package:
      The require-package tag now can be used with the package name
      instead of the filename of the package info file. The path
      to the package info file has to be provided in a new index-file.
      example: <require-package>perl 1.0.0</perl>

      "/var/install/bin/update-inittab: [: too many arguments".
      The problem was fixed.


- new features:

    - at command
      The at command was not operable, because the necessary environment
      was missing and the atd daemon was never started.
      With the new base option START_ATD this can be controlled.
      Beside the at command atq (display open jobs), atrm (remove
      open jobs) and command batch were included.
      In file /etc/at.allow you have to add all those users that are
      allowed to use the at command (default: only root).

        -> System administration
        -> Base configuration
        -> Set eisfair configuration editor
      Choose ece from the list as your editor.
      Keep joe, vi or an other editor different from ece as fallback
      editor for ece is not able to work with all configuration files.

    - Default configurations for base (base, cron, environment) are now
      available. All these configurations are checked after changing.

    - In function "Remove package" it is now possible to choose

    - New menu fileformat

      Based on the redesign of the menu fileformat now most common
      functions (doc, edit, menu, init.d) can be used without the
      need for a package specific script in /var/install/bin/.

      A suitable menu for ACFH is included.
      The ACFH scripts were adapted to the new menu fileformat.
      Usage of package names 'template' and 'master' now is prohibited
      using add_advancedconfigmenu and del_advancedconfigmenu
      for this could destroy some important files.

    - shell library /var/include/inetlib

      This library offers a collection of functions for determining
      current settings of network interfaces.

      In order to use this library the definitions have to be included
      into your shell script. This is done by executing
      . /var/install/include/inetlib

      The library inetlib provides the following functions:
      get_interfaces()       get list of interfaces
      get_interface()        get name of interface
      get_ipaddr()           get IP address of interface
      get_netmask()          get netmask of interface
      get_broadcast()        get boadcast address of interface
      get_network()          get network of interface

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


base 1.0.7 -> 1.0.8
===================

- general bugfixes/corrections:

    - correction of permissions /dev/capi*
    - correction of permissions /var/run
    - correction of an infinite loop in the edit-script
    - correction in base.exp - ABS_PATH:
      "/" will be accepted as an absolute path.
    - On deleting an user (remove-user) now the according entries
      in /etc/group (created by "Add user to additional group")
      will be deleted.
    - A potential security leak in remove-user was closed (Interim
      file with wrong permissions)
    - 8 bit-charset support for the shell (bash) by changes
      in /etc/inputrc
    - if Kernel 2.4.x, then load rhinefet instead of via-rhine


- system boot:

    - new: during system boot (after mounting the filesystems) all
           scripts with the prefix S in /etc/init.d/boot.d are executed
           with parameter start (e.g. S01cleanup which deletes all
           remaining .pid-Files and Lock-Files).
           After execution of these files the scripts to reach a
           runlevel are executed (e.g. /etc/rc2.d).
           The scripts in /etc/init.d/boot.d are used to "clean up"
           during system boot prior starting all common services.


- New features setup/administration:

    - setup menu:
      Menu changes trough install/deinstall of packages now will
      be active immediately, new base and eiskernel versions will
      be displayed immediately.
      As a result a re-logn as user eis is not required anymore.

    - package-installation
      Due to security reasons (wget) the downloaded file will be
      named /tmp/package.tar.bz2gz.

    - package-installation: CDROM automount

    - support for ehci based usb host adapters

    - Packeis-search
      The new menu entry "Search packages with Pack-Eis" allows a
      direct search and installation of packages with pack-eis.

    - ACFH - Advanced Configuration File Handling
      The comparison of two configuration files was corrected. Both
      files now are sorted prior comparison. This prevents errors
      in some cases but does not keep the order of the original
      files in the result.

    - extension list-users:
      - The output if ftp is allowed (column FTP) now checks several
        parameters of the inet-package (FTP_USE_PAM and the file
        /etc/ftpuser, FTP_ALLOW_ROOT_ACCESS, FTP_ONLY_ANONYMOUS), as
        well as the entries in /etc/shells.
      - The new column Valid-PW shows per user if an valid password
        in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow exists. The value '*' or '!'
        in /etc/passwd indicates an invalid password.

    - changes add-user:
      Errors during password-entry can now be corrected. The query
      is repeated twice.


- for package developers:

    - extension of the ask-script
      ask can now be used for any question (not limited to yes/no):
      - choice between given options
      - free text enty
      - number enty (with min + max)

    - EISLIB - Include library for shellscripts
      - Centralization of the most common commands of package-scripts.
        All commands act specifically if called from tty or under
        control of a browser
      - anykey
      - clearhome
      - mecho: echo with predefined color values (accorting to status)
      - techo: output of tables

    - New interface for modification of system files added:
      - /etc/hosts.allow
      - /etc/hosts.deny
      - /etc/services
      - /etc/inittab

    - New script /var/install/bin/set-access-rights for setting
      file permissions based on a new file <package>-files.txt
      in /etc/filelist.d .

    - base.exp: Parameter "PORT" added. (numerical value 1-65535)

    - changed add-user:
      new option -d for creating an user without login authorization
      and therefore without interactive query of a password.

    - changed remove-group:
      With the option -f (force) now groups with ids less than 200
      or higher than 65534 can be deleted (groups for system users).
      This option should be used extremely cautious like the
      according option of remove-user.

    - require-package:
      The require-package tag now can be used with the package name
      instead of the filename of the package info file. The path
      to the package info file has to be provided in a new index-file.
      example: <require-package>perl 1.0.0</perl>
