Use of this option requires special privileges to change to a
different user.

default n
depends on IFCONFIG
help
Setting this will make ifconfig attempt to find the broadcast
automatically if the value '+' is used.
config IFUPDOWN
bool "ifupdown"
default n
select RUN_PARTS
help
Activate or deactivate the specified interfaces. This applet makes
use of either "ifconfig" and "route" or the "ip" command to actually
configure network interfaces. Therefore, you will probably also want
to enable either IFCONFIG and ROUTE, or enable
FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP and the various IP options. Of
course you could use non-busybox versions of these programs, so
against my better judgement (since this will surely result in plenty
of support questions on the mailing list), I do not force you to
enable these additional options. It is up to you to supply either
"ifconfig" and "route" or the "ip" command, either via busybox or via
standalone utilities.
config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
bool "Use ip applet"
default n
depends on IFUPDOWN
help
Use the iproute "ip" command to implement "ifup" and "ifdown", rather
than the default of using the older 'ifconfig' and 'route' utilities.
config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP_BUILTIN
bool "Use busybox ip applet"
default y
depends on FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
select IP
select FEATURE_IP_ADDRESS
select FEATURE_IP_LINK
select FEATURE_IP_ROUTE
help
Use the busybox iproute "ip" applet to implement "ifupdown".

utility or the "ifup" and "ifdown" applets will not work.
config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IFCONFIG_BUILTIN
bool "Use busybox ifconfig and route applets"
default y
depends on IFUPDOWN && !FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
select IFCONFIG
select ROUTE
help
Use the busybox iproute "ifconfig" and "route" applets to
implement the "ifup" and "ifdown" utilities.
If left disabled, you must install the full-blown ifconfig
and route utilities, or the "ifup" and "ifdown" applets will not
work.
config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPV4
bool "Enable support for IPv4"
default y
depends on IFUPDOWN
help
If you want busybox to talk IPv4, leave this on.
config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPV6

remote host you are connecting to. This is useful to make sure that
things like ANSI colors and other control sequences behave.
config FEATURE_TELNET_AUTOLOGIN

default y
depends on TELNET
help
Setting this option will forward the USER environment variable to the
remote host you are connecting to. This is useful when you need to

config TELNETD
bool "telnetd"
default n
select FEATURE_SYSLOG
help
A daemon for the TELNET protocol, allowing you to log onto the host
running the daemon. Please keep in mind that the TELNET protocol
sends passwords in plain text. If you can't afford the space for an
SSH daemon and you trust your network, you may say 'y' here. As a
more secure alternative, you should seriously consider installing the
very small Dropbear SSH daemon instead:
http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
Note that for busybox telnetd to work you need several things:
First of all, your kernel needs:
UNIX98_PTYS=y
DEVPTS_FS=y
Next, you need a /dev/pts directory on your root filesystem:
$ ls -ld /dev/pts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 23 13:21 /dev/pts/
Next you need the pseudo terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx:
$ ls -la /dev/ptmx
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Sep 23 13:55 /dev/ptmx
Any /dev/ttyp[0-9]* files you may have can be removed.
Next, you need to mount the devpts filesystem on /dev/pts using:
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
You need to be sure that Busybox has LOGIN and
FEATURE_SUID enabled. And finally, you should make
certain that Busybox has been installed setuid root:
chown root.root /bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
with all that done, telnetd _should_ work....
