The system can now compile itself, and stay running the +whole time. It is quite reliable, and is used here for regular +computing tasks now. + +New programs addauth, rmauth, unsu, su, and setauth modify the uid +sets of running programs. Using addauth you can add root to your +emacs, write a file, and then use rmauth to take the uid back. (Of +course, passwords are required when necessary.) New program `ids' +will tell you what all the user ids are that a program has. Note that +in the Hurd a program can have several user ids all at once, just like +Unix supports having several group ids. Now that you can dynamically +change the ids of running programs, system administration (among other +things) becomes much easier. + +Two new programs, ftpcp and ftpdir, can be used to fetch files using +FTP with a simple command line interface. + +We have moved the `serverboot' bootstrapper and default pager from +Mach into the Hurd source distribution, so that Mach can avoid +distributing user programs. We hope to phase out use of serverboot +entirely at some point. Along with this, we made serverboot much +quieter. + +We now build profiling versions of the Hurd libraries, and the +makefiles have targets to build profiling executables as desired. + +We have added `lmail', a /bin/mail replacement for use with sendmail +to do local mail delivery. + +The idle threads of the kernel no longer count in `ps' towards the +total run time of the kernel process. This means that the kernel will +now sort into the right location for `u' format output. + +Several oddities in NFS client behavior have been fixed to produce +more sensible results. + +The "loopback" device is now supported (automatically) inside pfinet. +It should now be possible to use pfinet with no ethernet at all. + +Filesystems now use `store' library; the contents of the filesystem +can be nearly anywhere (including another file somewhere). + +Some annoying bugs in tty behavior have been fixed. Some still +remain, unfortunately. + +New translator `firmlink' is like a cross between a symlink and a hard +link. + + +Programmer visible changes: + +Filesystems support a new "reparenting" feature. This makes `..' from +the "reparented" node return whatever the user wishes, for a given +`open' regime. This enables the "firmlink" translator to work, and +will also be important in implementing shadow filesystems. + +The fshelp library now managed UID sets itself, and contains functions +to do permission checks in the usual way. Now it's much easier to be +sure every filesystem implements the same permission checks. + +The trivfs library has had its static initializations replaced with +spiffy dynamic ones. + +New library `libftpconn' is used to manage FTP connections. We are +already using this library for some local system administration tasks, +and are making it the basis of the (as yet unfinished) ftpfs +filesystem for the Hurd. + + + 6 September 1996 Version 0.1. @@ -1,9 +1,12 @@ -*- Text -*- -GNU Hurd version 0.1. +GNU Hurd version 0.2.
