It is impossible to formulate sane ABI based on
size of ulong because it can be 32-bit or 64-bit.
Basically it means that you cannot portably use
more that 32 option chars in one call anyway...
Make it explicit.
things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've
been doing for the last couple days.
And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)
This needs a second pass to:
+ add bb_daemon(unsigned char no_chdir, unsigned char no_close, const char*flag)
+ eventually globally export argc and argv, so we don't need to pass it to
bb_daemon().
We're using busybox and thank the authors.
I found a short buffer allocation at busybox/sysklod/syslod.c. It
mis-declares length of filenames, seems to forget for '\0' or two
column numbered suffix of backup files (ex. messages.10).
Here is a patch for the problem.
Thanks.
The Togg's sysklogd patch to use sendto() on remote logging is formatting
strangely (using `<' and '>' surrounding the `msg' string message). This
is OK, but this is not the standard way of formatting this message.
So this patch does the following:
o Fix the formatting to the standard way.
o Uses `MAXLINE' when needed;
o Don't loop sending messages without a "sleeping time",
I'm now doing `now = 1', `now <<= 1';
o Don't die on `init_RemoteLog' when starting up (feature!)
We're now trying to connect every time we have an invalid fd;
o Removes one static uneeded variable.
o Removes two automatic uneeded variables.
The second patch contains:
1) a size optimization for adduser.c
2) removes a warning about an unused variable in syslogd.c if CONFIG_FEATURE_REMOTE_LOG is not set
3)cosmetic fixes for addgroup_full_usage and adduser_full_usage
Ciao,

Syslogd wont start if remote-logging is enabled and the connection to the
remote-log server is not possible on syslogd startup.
I found a patch somewhere which works like a charm. It uses sendto() which
seems more reliable for this issue.
Please see attached patch. Many people will be more happy with this included
I think.

Togg
Hi folks
The following patch adds a new log message output to syslogd. This
output omits hostname and priority and is used in d-i to make the syslog
output better readable without lossing information.

I am applying this since I have syslogd hacked up in my wife's
access point with the same format string.... Might as well make
this hack official.

This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!
- Larry
You will find in the attached file "syslog.patch" a patch which adds
config options to set at compile time the size of the circular buffer,
and some documentation update.
Hi Eric
I have written a small patch for the Busybox syslogd. With this patch
one can limit the size of the messagfile. As soon as the limit is
reached the syslogd can rotate or purge the messagefile(s) on his own.
There is no necessity to use an external rotatescript.
Even if logread does something similar, its very handy to have some
messagefile after your box crash.
I wrote this patch initial vor BB 0.6x where no cron daemon was avail.
Now I adapted it for the new Version and i hope it is still useful. At
least I still use it :-)

Hi.
Last patch have new libbb function
vfork_rexec() for can use daemon() to uClinux system.
This patched daemons: syslog, klogd, inetd, crond.
This not tested! I havn`t this systems.
Also. Previous patch for feature request MD5 crypt password for
httpd don`t sended to this mailist on 07/15/03
(mailist have Pytom module problem?).
The previous patch included, and have testing.

'>' charactor can be logged, per rfc3164.
Also, a small patch from me to fix it so we use MAXLINE when allocating the
buffer, which is consistant with use everywhere else. This is needed since
uClibc defines BUFSIZE as 255, causing lines to be truncated at 255...
Ok. Patch with reduce size ready.
Notes: syslogd imposible close logsocket,
the real programm write logmessages (hmm, cycle loop?)
(Excuse me - this have small tab-formats rewroting also)

change in uClibc that changed opening the /dev/log socket as
SOCK_STREAM to SOCK_DGRAM, busybox syslogd no longer worked
since it needed a matching change. This fixes it so it
works once again.
I am using BB 0.60.2 in a floppy distro, and the syslog (and logger) is
unable to log the "<" char. This shows up in ppp logfiles. [...]
#logger "<pcomp>" results in "comp>" arriving at the log.
1) ping cleanup (compile fix from this patch already applied).
2) traceroute call not spare ntohl() now (and reduce size);
3) Fix for functions not declared static in insmod, ash, vi and mount.
4) a more simple API cmdedit :))
5) adds "stopped jobs" warning to ash on Ctrl-D and fixes "ignoreeof" option
6) reduce exporting library function index->strchr (traceroute), bzero->memset (syslogd)
