dfba741457 Robert P. Day removed 8 gazillion occurrences of "extern" on function
definitions.  (That should only be on prototypes.)

c089ccdb44 Removed the incorrect and confusing facility argument specified with
openlog() as the correct facility will be specified with syslog()
anyway.

Hi,
I've spent the half night staring at the devilish  my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid functions
trying to find out a way to avoid actual and future potential buffer overflow problems
without breaking existing code.
Finally I've  found a not intrusive way to do this that surely doesn't break existing code
and fixes a couple of problems too.
The attached patch:
1) changes the behaviour of my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid to avoid potetntial buffer overflows
2) fixes all occurences of this function calls in tar.c , id.c , ls.c, whoami.c, logger.c, libbb.h.
3) The behaviour of tar, ls and  logger is unchanged.
4) The behavior of ps with somewhat longer usernames messing up output is fixed.
5) The only bigger change was the increasing of size of the buffers in id.c to avoid
     false negatives (unknown user: xxxxxx) with usernames longer than 8 chars.
     The value i used ( 32 chars ) was taken from the tar header ( see gname and uname).
     Maybe this buffers can be reduced a bit  ( to 16 or whatever ), this is up to you.
6) The increase of size of the binary is not so dramatic:
     size busybox
       text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
     239568    2300   36816  278684   4409c busybox
    size busybox_fixed
       text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
     239616    2300   36816  278732   440cc busybox
7) The behaviour of whoami changed:
    actually it  prints out an username cut down to the size of the buffer.
    This could be fixed by increasing the size of the buffer as in id.c or
    avoid the use of my_getpwuid and use getpwuid directly instead.
    Maybe this colud be also remain unchanged......

Please apply if you think it is ok to do so.
The diff applies on today's cvs tarball (2004-08-25).
Thanks in advance,
Ciao,
Tito

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.

20aab260e2 Some adjustments, mostly from David McCullough <davidm@lineo.com> to
make busybox be more uClinux friendly.  I also adjusted Config.h for
uClinux so it will automagically disable apps the arn't going to
work without fork() and such.

cbe31dace5 It turns out that DODMALLOC was broken when I reorganized busybox.h
header file usage before the 0.49 release.  To fix it, I had to move
the '#include "busybox.h"' to the end of the list of #include files.

67991cf824 This patch, put together by Manuel Novoa III, is a merge of work
done by Evin Robertson (bug#1105) and work from Manuel to make
usage messages occupy less space and simplify how usage messages
are displayed.

ed3ef50c23 Fix header file usage -- there were many unnecessary header files included in
busybox.h which slowed compiles.  I left only what was needed and then fixed up
all the apps to include their own header files.  I also fixed naming for pwd.h
and grp.h functions.  Tested to compile and run with libc5, glibc, and uClibc.

de552874d2 Some busybox updates. You no longer _have_ to put a "-" in front of tar
options, logger is better behaved and has a "-t" option now.  init now supports
the kernel chroot patch, so you can chroot to a new device and umount the old
root.
