Hello mulinux-users!
after a *long* period, a new release of muLinux is incoming -- i'm
testing, now. All this new feature will become active only if
EXT disk is mounted, be aware.
That's the news:
multi-user support
------------------
Added a true "login" binary. Now, authentication is possible.
Without EXT, login run in usual way. /etc/login remains a wrapper
script and it call, if there is any, /usr/local/bin/login.
Warning: most of muLinux script requires high privilege, therefore
will not works properly for normal user :-(
PCMCIA support
--------------
Yes, isn't a joke: PCMCIA works now, with 2.0.36 kernel. I added
all PCMCIA modules, card-manager release 2.0.3 (very recent).
Tested with:
IBM Thinkpad 570 (a rent machine), 3c589D eth card
ACER Extensa 502T (that's mine), NE2000 compatible eth card
Porting of pcmcia scripts succeded in ash.
A new network setup
-------------------
"setup eth" and "setup net" are now groupped in a "setup network".
/usr/bin/ethconfig is now /usr/bin/netconfig, etc.
This setup allow to select "pcmcia" or "eth_card" as primary interface,
and "manual" of "dhcp" for network values.
stop networking with
# setup network stop
I plan to add a "stop()" function to all relevant services, adding
# setup -a shutdown stop
in /etc/rc.6
Traditional Internet Services
------------------------------
Added the inetd super-daemon, the true telnetd daemon and the
Washington University FTP server.
Rustic daemons remains active without EXT.
Now, using disk #1 and #2, we have an UnderNet (or InfraNet?) server
mostly complete closed in the size 1/10 of IE-Explorer :-)
No,no : Apache Server there isn't.
