Hi Erik, Hi to all, This is part five of the my_get*id story. I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible, but this changes will not affect existing code. Now they work so: 1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize) if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL on success username is written on static allocated buffer on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL on success username is returned on failure NULL is returned if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL on success username is returned on failure an error message is printed and the program exits 2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize) if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL on success groupname is returned on failure NULL is returned if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL on success groupname is returned on failure an error message is printed and the program exits This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet. It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length. BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes) with the pending patch in patches/id_groups_alias.patch. The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c. I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough (at least I hope so.......).

Syslogd wont start if remote-logging is enabled and the connection to the remote-log server is not possible on syslogd startup. I found a patch somewhere which works like a charm. It uses sendto() which seems more reliable for this issue. Please see attached patch. Many people will be more happy with this included I think. Regards, Togg

Hi, I've fixed also the issue of whoami cutting down usernames. This time I cannot send a diff because i don't know if my previous patches will be applied or not, so I send in the whole file. The changes I've made don't affect size but ensure that usernames of whatever lenght are correctly displayed. root@localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox/coreutils# size whoami_orig.o text data bss dec hex filename 102 0 0 102 66 whoami_orig.o root@localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox/coreutils# size whoami.o text data bss dec hex filename 93 0 0 93 5d whoami.o This should be applied even if the other patches aren't as this matches the behaviour of the GNU whoami. Thanks in advance, Ciao, Tito

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

Unfortunatelly I've not followed the last two or three weeks commits (new semester started and so now I rarely have time to fix my personal bridge) but tonight I synched my tree and immediately noticed a rather nasty bug!

I've reversed the patch and now everything is working again. I compared the get_name's return values from the 1.23 and 1.24 and quickly noticed that the new revision is leaving `p' right on the sep while the rev 1.23 was leaving it right on the starting of the values... 1-line, 1/3-minute patch attached :-)

This bug is in busybox 1.0.0-rc2. When using lash exec builtin with redirection, the opened file fd keep increasing. For example, please try the following command with lash. ls -al /proc/<lash pid>/fd exec /bin/sh 2>/dev/null ls -al /proc/<lash pid>/fd The last 'ls' command output will look like this. The fd number 4 shouldn't exist. lrwx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 4 -> /dev/pts/5 l-wx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 2 -> /dev/null lrwx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 1 -> /dev/pts/5 lrwx------ 1 501 100 64 Aug 13 13:56 0 -> /dev/pts/5 dr-xr-xr-x 3 501 100 0 Aug 13 13:56 .. dr-x------ 2 501 100 0 Aug 13 13:56 .

2004-08-16Use __kernel_old_dev_t for 2.6.x kernelsEric Andersen
2004-08-16Aurelien Jacobs writes:Eric Andersen
with a quick conversion you will see that 132608 == 0x20600 so noticed that the elif will never be matched ! Apparently there was already a try to modify this in CVS which was reverted (it was plain wrong). I don't know when __kernel_old_dev_t is needed, but with a 2.6.7 or a 2.6.8 this is __kernel_dev_t wich is needed. I corrected this with the following patch but maybe older 2.6 still need __kernel_old_dev_t ? I think this should be corrected before 1.0. Thanks Aurel

2004-08-11Willian Barsse wroteGlenn L McGrath
"There seems to be a slight problem with the "mod_strcmp" function in modprobe.c, it scans for the first occurence of the module name in the "mod_path" variable and expects it to be the last path element. ie /lib/modules/2.4.22-debug/kernel/fs/vfat in my example. The comparison will always fail if mod_path contains another substring matching the module name." Robert McQueen wrote "Although William Barsse's patch fixed mod_strcmp for 2.4 kernels, there was a remaining problem which prevented it from working for me. I've just tracked it down - when you enable kernel 2.6 module support it hard-wired the extension to .ko instead of checking at runtime like the other places where 2.4 differs from 2.6. The attached patch fixes this for me."

A question was posted a month ago by Mark Alamo to see if others had problems with sourcing subscripts within msh. We asked his firm to fix the msh.c bug he described because we didn't have enough time to do it ourselves. When msh.c is executing a compound statement and there is a . command to source another script file, msh.c will not execute the subscript until it's completed executing the rest of the compound statement. His example was this: Echo "Start" ; . ./subA; echo "mid" ; . ./subB ; echo "end" subA and subB execute AFTER end is printed in reverse order. The same is true if the sourced files are inside an if else fi, case esac, or any compound statement. Attached is a patch to msh.c. It fixes the problem. Cd to the root of your busybox tree and execute "patch -p1 < msh.c.patch" Unfortunately, I won't have more time to work on this so I hope that there aren't any problems!

Hi to all, This patch is useful for: 1) remove an unused var from extern char *find_real_root_device_name(const char* name) changing it to extern char *find_real_root_device_name(void). 2) fixes include/libbb.h, coreutils/df.c, util-linux/mount.c and util-linux/umount.c accordingly. 3) fixes a bug, really a false positive, in find_real_root_device_name() that happens if in the /dev directory exists a link named root (/dev/root) that should be skipped but is not. This affects applets like df that display wrong results
