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.
HP iPAQ. Sometimes we get a SIGWINCH and want to print the prompt, although
the prompt is not yet initialised (0) .. so just don't print a prompt
as long as the prompt string is 0
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.
- Applied Joel Coltoff's xconnect patch:
On both my host system and with mipsel-linux for my embedded systems
the function getservbyname() gives the port number already in host order.
In fact, this is how it was used by rdate in version 0.60.3. The snapshot
I have of the development tree from July 12, 2002 takes the port number
and stuffs it into htons() before it uses it. This causes bugs in rdate,
telnet and wget. This patch fixes that.
#49: I found one memory overflow and memory leak in "ln" applet.
Last patch reduced also 54 bytes. ;)
#50: I found bug in loginutils/Makefile.in.
New patch have also new function to libbb and
aplied this to applets and other cosmetic changes.
When alias support is not configured, ash believes that command parameters
that look like dd's "if=/dev/zero" are requests to set a temporary
environment variable whilst dd is running, even though it appears after the
command name. This is caused by the re-use of the checkalias global variable
to indicate when both alias checking and environment variable checking. The
failure to reset this flag is due to the reset action being performed only
inside the feature check CHECK_ASH_ALIAS. Hence ash works as expected when
aliases are configured in, and fails when not.
Example script using 'date' with different settings of TZ:
# TZ=Europe/London
# export TZ
# date
Thu May 30 17:18:49 BST 2002
# TZ=America/New_York date
Thu May 30 12:19:10 EDT 2002
# date
Thu May 30 17:19:12 BST 2002
# date TZ=America/New_York
Thu May 30 12:19:30 EDT 2002 <----- wrong, should be BST time (or error!)
# date
Thu May 30 17:19:35 BST 2002
Attached is a patch against revision 1.52 of ash.c which moves the checks so
that checkalias is updated regardless of whether CONFIG_ASH_ALIAS is set.
With this patch applied, the command shown above which should generate an
error does generate an error.
I have tested this patch with the 'dd' command too and that now works
correctly.
xconnect helper routine which does:
-address and port resolving
-tries to connect to all resolved addresses until connected
-uses getaddrinfo, so works for IPv6 too
This patch also ports rdate, telnet, and wget to use the new
xconnect function. Thanks Bart!
