I have modified the scripts/ver_linux script to provide the following:
1) The order of version checks is now the same as the list in the
Current Minimal Requirements section of Documentation/Changes
for easier comparison.
2) Made capitalization consistent with the list in Changes.
3) Added version check for ext2 utils (e2fsprogs).
4) Added version check for pcmcia utils (pcmcia-cs).
5) Added version check for pppd (PPP).
6) Added version check for isdn utils (isdn4k-utils).
7) Added whitespace for better readability.
Due to the extensive rewriting, the patch against 2.4.1-ac6 is
larger than the ver_linux script itself. I will include the proposed
new version of ver_linux here inline, and I will attach the patch itself,
which isn't as readable. This patch should apply against -ac5 and -ac7 also.
Here is the output of the current ver_linux for my system:
[root@localhost scripts]# ./ver_linux.orig
-- Versions installed: (if some fields are empty or look
-- unusual then possibly you have very old versions)

Here is the output of the new ver_linux:
[root@localhost scripts]# ./ver_linux
If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.

*Please* consider modifying this. There might be a problem:
tolot:/root # hostname -V
tolot:/root # hostname
-V
tolot:/root # hostname --version
hostname (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11

Hmm, I guess the newer verion of hostname broke the old behaviour:
[root@localhost scripts]# hostname -V
net-tools 1.57
hostname 1.99 (2000-02-13)
But, there is an easy solution:
[root@localhost scripts]# ifconfig --version
net-tools 1.57
ifconfig 1.40 (2000-05-21)
I replaced the old code for Net-tools with this:
ifconfig --version 2>&1 | grep tools | awk \
'NR==1{print "Net-tools ", $NF}'
That should work. I hope. Try it please.
A new patch, still against 2.4.1-ac6 is attached.
It should work with 2.4.1-ac5,6,7.

AFAIK, all distributions use hostname from net-tools, not from
sh-utils.
% hostname -V
net-tools 1.57
hostname 1.99 (2000-02-13)
Why duplicate it (on Linux) ?

This works great for me. Thanks!
