to work.  Without /proc mounted, one must explicitly specify the
type of every filesystem being mounted.

Hi,

  Well, I made this patch a long time ago (08/2002) because it was a
  need of a project, but had no time to send it to you. It adds support
  to `autologin' option of the telnet protocol. It has been used since
  made with busybox 0.60.3 at production and I had no problems with it.
  I have ported it to the HEAD revision of the CVS server (20040211) and
  I hope you enjoy and apply it to the official sources. :)

Thanks a lot!

b90502828c Patch from Ned Ludd, solar at gentoo dot org:
I had previously provided you with a patch to help complete busybox's
props suite, but have heard no word back. Sense then I've made use of as
many of busybox's native API settings as I could find and would really
love for you to include support for this. If there is something more I
need to do to get this supported added in please let me know.

Hi to all,
here is a new patch for bb's devfsd. The news are:

1) Size reduction for the basic setup with no options compiled in from :
     text        data     bss     dec       hex   filename
    10591     392      543    11526   2d06 devfsd.o
    rw-r--r--    1 root     root        18536 Dec 18 21:52 devfsd.o

    to:

    text        data     bss     dec        hex  filename
    9303      392      543    10238    27fe devfsd.o
    rw-r--r--    1 root     root        16528 Dec 18 22:02 devfsd.o

   With this setup you should not expect much output from devfsd
    ( just at start or with -v) and if some error occurs it only exits 1.
   To have more output enable:  " Increases logging (and size)" (+1568 b).

2) The option "Adds function names to program output" was removed from config menu
    and now to enable debug output you can use bb's standard option:
    "Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols".
    Be careful as with this option enabled a lot of data are outputted to /dev/log and/or to stderr.

3) A new option: "Enables the -fg and -np option" was added to config menu  (+128 b).

BTW: option "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"  adds 268 b.

4) The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
   "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
   "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",  "MKOLDCOMPAT",
   "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT".

   But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!!

5)Help text in usage.h was modified.

6)Something that I have forgotten..........

I've tested this for the last week on my box and it seems to work as expected.

Thanks in advance and please apply.

Ciao,

Tito

Dear list,

during my quest do pack busybox into an RPM, I've fixed a small bug
(missing \n) in dc's usage. And added two additional operations: mod and
exp/power.

Feel free to drop them.

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 :-)

bye

0a57a79e38 Patch from Steven Scholz:
should we rename the define into CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DMA and
use it for "set" and "get" ???

Since although CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GET_DMA is _not_ set I still
can use "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" to switch the DMA on.
Is this desireable or meant to be like that?

So how about the applied patch?

Here's a bunch of fixes for the watchdog app in busybox. This does a
	couple of things:

		- configurable timer duration (userspace timer duration is
		  usually configurable within the device drivers themselves).
		- run as a daemon
		- shutdown the device properly on SIGINT or SIGHUP
		- clear the counter immediately instead of sleeping first

	as well as updating the usage information. This has also been switched
	over to getopt to deal with the optional timer duration specifier.

	The changes themselves are harmless and isolated, and I've veried that
	this works on sh and x86 without any problems.
