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.

Fixed up domain removal for local domains. GNU traceroute does not do this. I
don't know why we do. Fixed incorrect argument for reverse resolution. Clean
up cruft that appears when CONFIG_FEATURE_TRACEROUTE_VERBOSE is defined
When DEBUG is defined
1. need to include resolv.h (for _resinit())
2. remove _() call around string. It appears to be a remnant of i18n or some such notion
greatly, and keep the arch specific relocations together,
fixes R_PPC_ADDR32 handling so powerpc can work, and changes the
tlb tables to be linked lists (again so powerpc can work).
1. busybox-telnet dosn't inform server about the size of terminal screen.
In the world of xterminals and frame buffers it's rather horrible
to use fixed 80x24 region in upper-left corner of screen/window.
2. If client sends character 0x0d to the server then sends character 0x0a
the server eat the second byte (0x0a) - it's described in telnet RFC.
Client should send two bytes ( 0x0d + 0x0a or 0x0d + 0x00 ) insted of
one 0x0d byte.
3. busybox telnet implementation wasn't 8bit clean (look at 0xff byte).
I need it because I have to use binray transfer like rz/sz. So when
I resloved the problem (2) I corrected this one two.
This also contains a small cleanup patch from vodz, and some minor editing
by me.
the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO...
