best way to go. Sysvinit does not provide a controlling tty since it doesn't
even try to open ttys for apps. We do. So we should _try_ to provide a
controlling tty if possible, but we needn't freak out if it doesn't work. This
way we won't need to use openvt or similar, we'll just have init do the Right
Thing(tm).
New complex patch for decrease size devel version. Requires previous patch.
Also removed small problems from dutmp and tar applets.
Also includes vodz' last_patch61_2:
Last patch correcting comment for #endif and more integrated
with libbb (very reduce size if used "cat" applet also).
Requires last_patch61 for modutils/config.in.
Ok. I generate patch for include to busybox-devel my work with
top (original author give me maintaining) and telnetd (my
support and unofficial maintaining) applets. Docs changes
also: added awk, netstat, time applets to list ;)
Hi, Erik.
my_getpw(uid/gid) and applets used it have problem:
if username for uid not found, applets can`t detect it
(but code pessent). Also "%8ld " format is bad:
spaces not required (applets have self format
or spec format (tar applet) and overflow for "id" applet...)
This problem also pressent in stable version.
Patch for unstable in attach.

In most cases, dirname returns the same argument it was given, so this code
works nice, but there's one special case: when the name contains no
dirname, it returns "." (stored statically in the body of itself), and we
get a segfault in attempt to free() it.
This patch fixes this problem.
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.
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!
IPV6 support to busybox. This patch does the following:
* Add IPv6 support to libbb
* Enable IPv6 interface address display
* Add IPv6 config option
* Adds ping6, an adaptation of the ping applet for IPv6
* Adds support routines for ping6:
- xgethostbyname2
- create_icmp6_socket
* Adds ifconfig support for IPv6
* Add support IPv6 to netstat
* Add IPv6 support to route
Thanks Bart!
control turned off" bug, console_setup() was called with a closed file
descriptor, setsid() inconsistancy, and silly string handling bugs. I have
modified his patch to allow the askfirst init actions to have a controlling
terminal.
trying to call 'insmod -q', which wasn't supported. Secondly, when modprobe
was fed blank lines from modules.dep, we ended up calling xstrndup(ptr, -1),
which with suitably bad results. David provided a patch to catch the blank
lines, and I have added insmod -q support. So modprobe should work again.
