You will find in the attached file "syslog.patch" a patch which adds
config options to set at compile time the size of the circular buffer,
and some documentation update.
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 :-)

Hi.
Last patch have new libbb function
vfork_rexec() for can use daemon() to uClinux system.
This patched daemons: syslog, klogd, inetd, crond.
This not tested! I havn`t this systems.
Also. Previous patch for feature request MD5 crypt password for
httpd don`t sended to this mailist on 07/15/03
(mailist have Pytom module problem?).
The previous patch included, and have testing.

'>' charactor can be logged, per rfc3164.
Also, a small patch from me to fix it so we use MAXLINE when allocating the
buffer, which is consistant with use everywhere else. This is needed since
uClibc defines BUFSIZE as 255, causing lines to be truncated at 255...
Ok. Patch with reduce size ready.
Notes: syslogd imposible close logsocket,
the real programm write logmessages (hmm, cycle loop?)
(Excuse me - this have small tab-formats rewroting also)
text data bss dec hex filename
2913 332 12388 15633 3d11 syslogd.o
3109 332 9252 12693 3195 syslogd_old.o
change in uClibc that changed opening the /dev/log socket as
SOCK_STREAM to SOCK_DGRAM, busybox syslogd no longer worked
since it needed a matching change. This fixes it so it
works once again.
I am using BB 0.60.2 in a floppy distro, and the syslog (and logger) is
unable to log the "<" char. This shows up in ppp logfiles. [...]
#logger "<pcomp>" results in "comp>" arriving at the log.
1) ping cleanup (compile fix from this patch already applied).
2) traceroute call not spare ntohl() now (and reduce size);
3) Fix for functions not declared static in insmod, ash, vi and mount.
4) a more simple API cmdedit :))
5) adds "stopped jobs" warning to ash on Ctrl-D and fixes "ignoreeof" option
6) reduce exporting library function index->strchr (traceroute), bzero->memset (syslogd)
