Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.announce Subject: PoeIGL 1.35 and Admutil 1.15c are out Message-ID: From: poe@daimi.aau.dk (Peter Orbaek) Date: Mon, 21 Aug 95 13:57:15 GMT Organization: DAIMI, Computer Science Dept. at Aarhus University Keywords: init getty login shutdown halt passwd last ctrlaltdel who Approved: linux-announce@news.ornl.gov (Lars Wirzenius) It's been more than a year since my last public announcement of these packages. Parts of these packages are also part of the util-linux distribution by Rick Faith. This software has been around since about version 0.12 of Linux! but has been continually upgraded. The PoeIGL package contains source for simpleinit, agetty, login, hostname, mesg, write, who, users, domainname, cage, hostid Admutil contains shutdown, reboot, halt, passwd, newgrp, last, ctrlaltdel, chsh, su I am making this public announcent because I just made some extensions to login, so that it is now possible to restrict login based on both tty line and remote hostname/IP address. This feature might prove useful for people concerned with security. Be warned that there are other versions of some of these programs around and that you may prefer them. I have uploaded the two packages to nic.funet.fi and sunsite.unc.edu, and the main ftp site for these packages is ftp.daimi.aau.dk/pub/linux/poe/ Be careful with the installation of this software, it's easy to screw up and lock yourself out. Unless you are a systems integrator that makes Linux distributions, you probably need not bother.
