Hello,

Here's a patch for a first attempt at static leases for udhcpd.
Included in the tarball are 2 files (static_leases.c, static_leases.h)
and a patch against the latest cvs.

In the config file you can configure static leases with the following
format:

static_lease 00:60:08:11:CE:4E 192.168.0.54
static_lease 00:60:08:11:CE:3E 192.168.0.44

Comments/suggestions/improvements are welcome.

Hello, all.

Busybox init does not handle removed inittab entry correctly.

# I'm sorry about my poor english, but you can find
# what I would like to say from patch, isn't it?

even if you apply this path,
when yoy try to change a command line option in inittab,
you have to do following steps.
1. remove old line from initrd
2. send HUP signal to init
3. kill old proces which is invoked from init.
4. append new line to inittab
5. send HUP signal to init, again

patch is against current CVS + last patch witch I send it last.

Hi!

I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.

That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.

I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.

'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.

One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

2842659cc0 Patch from Michael Tokarev:
Scenario:

  touch x -- creates plain file name `x'
  mkdir x -- exits successefully

libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains
the following code:

        if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) {
            /* If we failed for any other reason than the directory
             * already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/
            if (errno != EEXIST) {
                fail_msg = "create";
                umask(mask);
                break;
            }
            /* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change
             * permissions if it was the full target.  Note that
             * this is not an error conditon. */
            if (!c) {
                umask(mask);
                return 0;
            }
        }

The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory*
already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause
this error to be returned.  Proper way IMHO will be is to stat()
the path and check whenever this is really a directory.  Below
(attached) is a patch to fix this issue.

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.

This patch makes msh handle variable expansion within backticks more
correctly.

Current behaviour (wrong):
--------------------------

BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2004.08.26-11:51+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

$ A='`echo hello`'
$ echo $A
`echo hello`
$ echo `echo $A`
hello
$


New behaviour (correct):
------------------------

BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2004.08.26-11:51+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

$ A='`echo hello`'
$ echo $A
`echo hello`
$ echo `echo $A`
`echo hello`
$

The current behaviour (wrong according to standards) was actually my
fault. msh handles backticks by executing a subshell (which makes it
work on MMU-less systems). Executing a subshell makes it hard to only
expand variables once in the parent. Therefore I export all variables
that will be expanded within the backticks and let the subshell handle
the expansion instead.

The bug was found while searching for security leaks in CGI-scripts.
Current behaviour of msh makes it easy to expand backticks by mistake
in $QUERY_STRING. I recommend appling the patch before release of bb
1.00.

Hi Erik,
Hi to all,
This is part five of the my_get*id story.
I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible,
but this changes will not affect existing code.
Now they work so:
1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize)

   if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL
                     on success username is written on static allocated buffer
                     on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
   if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL
                     on success username is returned
                     on failure NULL is returned
   if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL
                     on success username is returned
                     on failure an error message is printed and the program exits

  2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize)

   if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL
                     on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer
                     on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
   if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL
                     on success groupname is returned
                     on failure NULL is returned
   if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL
                     on success groupname is returned
                     on failure an error message is printed and the program exits

This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet.
It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id
and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length.
BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes)
with the pending patch  in patches/id_groups_alias.patch.
The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c
from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations
made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c.
I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough
(at least I hope so.......).

Hi,
I've fixed also the issue of whoami cutting down usernames.
This time I cannot send a diff because i don't know if my previous patches will be applied

The changes I've made don't affect size but ensure that usernames of whatever lenght
are correctly displayed.
root@localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox/coreutils# size whoami_orig.o

This should be applied even if the other patches aren't as this matches the behaviour of the  GNU whoami.
