bb_lookup_port now takes 3 parameters but rdate has not been modified
accordingly and fails to compile in the current CVS version.
The modification below fixes the problem.
Now, RFC868 allows both UDP and TCP implementations of the time protocol
so this may not work if someone defines a udp time service other than 37
but who would do that?
function as there is no gracefull way of handling failures.
Rename bb_getport to bb_lookup_port, allow a default port to be
specified so it always returns a correct value.
Modify ftpgetput/rdate/wget to use the new interface.
wget/rdate now use etc/services with a falback default value.
* The "rdate.patch" file makes rdate to NOT settimeofday if the date to be
set equals current date. This prevents the system from experiencing nasty time
discontinuities caused by sub-second changes, with a protocol that has only
over second resolution. Depending on your taste, the "fprintf(stderr..." may be
removed.
it will properly fall back to /proc/mounts when /etc/filesystems
is missing, allowing mount to guess the correct fs type when a
fs type is not explicitly specified.

in order to fix the problems with round robin DNS reported
by Andrew Flegg:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2003-October/009579.html
This removes the ipv6 specific xconnect dns lookups. I do
not see why that would need to be special cased for ipv6 as
was done, but that will just have to be tested.
So IPV6 people -- please test this change!

the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)
I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.
Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

Ok. Patch attached.
When using "losetup" the device is always setup as Read-Only.
(I have only tested with the -o flag, but looking at the code the
problem seems general)
The problem is the "opt" variable in "losetup.c" that is reused in
the "set_loop()" call. Clear it before the call and everything is OK;
opt = 0; /* <-------- added line */
if (delete)
return del_loop (argv[optind]) ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE;
else
return set_loop (argv[optind], argv[optind + 1], offset, &opt)
? EXIT_FAILURE : EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

If BusyBox was compiled with -DCONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP dmesg command
segfaults if invoked with the "-n" option. (Due to a free() of an
uninitialized pointer).
"rootfs" entry as well as the traditional "/dev/root" entry. This caused
applets such as mount and df to display two root filesystem entries....
This teaches the relevant utilities to ignore the "rootfs" entry.
