271 Fix by Bryan Kadzban <bryan@kadzban.is-a-geek.net>
272 * Changed initreq.h to be more flexible and forwards-compatible.
273 * You can now through /dev/initctl set environment variables in
274 init that will be inherited by its children. For now, only
275 variables prefixed with INIT_ can be set and the maximum is
276 16 variables. There's also a length limit due to the size
277 of struct init_request, so it should be safe from abuse.

398 * Change dowall.c to handle Unix98 ptys correctly
399 * Add comment in rcS about usage of setup.sh and unconfigured.sh
400 * Shutdown now removes nologin file just before calling telinit
401 * SEGV handler now tries to continue after sleep of 30 seconds.
402 On a 386-class processor it also prints out the value of EIP.

421 * Change sulogin password buffer to 128 characters.
422 * Don't print control characters in dowall.c
423 * Try to open getenv ("CONSOLE"), /dev/console and /dev/tty0 in order.
424 For backwards compatibility when you try to boot a 2.0.x kernel
425 with a linux > 2.1.70 /dev/console device.
426 * Change src/Makefile for non-debian systems (mainly, RedHat)
427 * Try to create /dev/initctl if not present; check every time to see
428 if the dev/ino of /dev/initctl has changed and re-open it. This should
429 help devfs a bit.
430 * Send SIGUSR1 to init at bootup to let it re-open /dev/initctl;
431 again in support of devfs.
432 * Moved pidof to /bin (it's only a link to killall5 anyway)

452 #21775: sysvinit: sysvinit does not support MD5 hashed passwords

472 * Should compile with glibc 1.99 :)
473 * Change behaviour of reboot(1) and halt(1) so that the default when
474 the runlevel can't be determined is to call shutdown.
475 * Added re-exec patch from Al Viro (21 Feb 1998):
476 'U' flag added to telinit. It forces init to re-exec itself
477 (passing its state through exec, certainly).
478 May be useful for smoother (heh) upgrades.
479 24 Feb 1998, AV:
480 did_boot made global and added to state - thanks, Miquel.
481 Yet another file descriptors leak - close state pipe if
482 re_exec fails.

494 * Use siginterrupt, now that system calls are restarted by default.
495 Main symptom was that the sulogin timeout didn't work but there
496 might have been more hidden problems.
497 * Kill process immidiately if turned off in inittab
498 * Fixed sulogin check on tty arg.
499 * Use strerror() instead of sys_errlist
500 * wall now supports a '-n' option to suppress [most of] the banner.
501 Debian doesn't use sysvinit's wall, but apparently Redhat does.
502 * Add '-F' (forcefsck) option to shutdown
503 * Close and reopen /dev/initctl on SIGUSR1 (mainly for a /dev in ram)

725 (like showing runlevel in "ps" listing, logging
726 runlevel into utmp file etc)
727- now using "reliable" signals instead of V7 style.
728- Updated all scripts. Examples are in two directories:
729 etc (normal) and etc-sysv (sysv style scripts).

743 now "ctrlaltdel" instead of "power{wait,fail}".
744
7452.4a 22-Apr-93
746- Fixed last to reckognize BSD style wtmp logging.
747- Changed init to write wtmp records that are
748 SysV compliant but are also reckognized by the
749 BSD last. Added a '+' option to the 'process'
750 field of inittab, for getties that want to do
751 their own utmp/wtmp housekeeping (kludge!).
752- Now accepts a runlevel on the command line,
753 and reckognizes the 'auto' argument. (Sets the
754 environment variable AUTOBOOT to YES)
755
7562.2.3 24-Mar-93

765- Changed whole thing to one big state machine
766- Now using 'pseudo levels' # & * for SYSINIT & BOOT
767- Added a new type of 'action', called leave. This
768 process will be executed when the system goes from a
769 runlevel specified in it's runlevel field to a
770 level that's not. Nice to bring down NFS and the like.
771

777 is a shell script. (shouldn't execvp do this?)
778- Added patches to use syslog if defined.
779
7802.0 08-Dec-92
781- Rewrote the code totally, so started with a new
782 version number.

785 run standalone for test purposes.
786

789 to be default under linux. Fixed some typos.
790

793 and added 'waitpid' instead of 'wait' for SYSV.
794

796- Read manual wrong: there is no 'action' field called
797 process, but all entries are of type process. Every
798 'process' get exec'ed by /bin/sh -c 'exec command'.
799- Rapidly respawning processes are caught in the act.
800- _SYSV support is really Linux support,
801 done by poe@daimi.aau.dk on 25-Mar-92.
802
803 1.0, 01-Feb-92
