rm must not use FTS_NOCHDIR, since chdir'ing is required for removing
deep directory trees and the ability to remove such trees is required
by POSIX.2 and POLA. The breakage didn't make much difference until
recently, since fts(3) didn't work in deep directory trees. It isn't
clear whether using FTS_NOCHDIR ever fixed anything (Net/2's rm.c is
similar to Lite1's). Perhaps it was actually to limit the damage
caused by the fts bug.

Support for negative offsets is gone again, but the case where you
lseek() onto byte -1 of something from a negative offset using seek/skip
is fixed; if you end up on -1, you won't get a false positive lseek failure.
The biggest changes are to data types (more size_t, for instance) and
argument parsing. skip/seek on /dev/{,k}mem now occurs (instead of "read
until you reach the offset") due to mem devices now being D_DISK. Some
const things are now correctly declared as such, and the "case table"
building is better. The only thing that seems to be left to make dd(1)

This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process
is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with
additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do.
For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a
prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what
it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers".
Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP
communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own
hostname.
Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is
that each customer can run their own particular version of apache
and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors.
It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail
still takes a little knowledge.
A few notes:
I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them.
The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces.
mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable.
/proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for
jailed processes.
Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison.
There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging.
Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!)

more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome!

what BSD does). This also fixes bugs in the slash-stripping code
(for paths consisting entirely of slashes, the pointer into the
string was decremented to "before" the beginning of the string,
and the path was at best stripped to "".
The behaviour is unchanged except for the final directory for

slashes since they must be specified. The sloppy slash-stripping
code is adequate for intermediate directories, since the all-slashes
case fails early.

The mkdir utility shall exit with one of the following values:

E.g.
% mkdir -p /var/mkdir
mkdir: /var/mkdir: Permission denied
% touch /tmp/file
% mkdir -p /tmp/file/dir
mkdir: /tmp/file: Not a directory

This means that a script containing:
echo 1
set -v
echo 2
will now produce output, like it does on SYSV machines and other 'proper'
/bin/sh implementations..
This is done by a slight restructure of the input processor allowing it to
read chunks from the file at a time, but process the data by line from the
chunk.

command and badly needed in sh(1) for everybody who wants to modify

the trailing slashes caused the rename() for this mv to fail earlier, so

This gives us more room to breath with tty names, especially with drivers
that support large numbers of ports.. eg: specialix and digiboard.
This does not actually change the current tty names, it just allows room
for reporting more characters if the drivers use them.
When comparing my recent parser change against the ash in 1.1.5.1, i
found that a couple of other problems in the same area has been fixed
there, but not in 2.2. Semicolons and EOF do also delimit words...
The && and || tokens do also terminate a command, not only the
newline.
While i was at it, disabled trace code by default, it served no good
purpose since it required the use of a debugger anyway to be turned
on. Instead, placed a hint in the Makefile on how to turn it on.
This makes the shell ~ 10 % faster and ~ 4 KB smaller. :)

Turns out, it's pretty important if you use PAX for backup. In the man
page for PAX, there is an error (OK, we could call it a "potentially
catastrophic incompleteness"). It reads:
> The command:
>
> pax -r -v -f filename
>
> gives the verbose table of contents for an archive stored in filename.
Yup, it does do that. With a side effect: it also _replaces_ all the
files that come in from the archive. As is my custom, I did my
backup-validation real soon after the backup was written. Precisely
because I've seen the same sort of thing happen on other systems. So all
that file-restoring didn't do a lot of damage. Probably helped my
fragmentation somewhat (aha, an online defragger?) It did confuse one
hapless user, who lost an email message he _knew_ he hadn't deleted.
Apparently the system restored the file as of just before that critical
message came in.
The correct entry should read:
> The command:
>
> pax -v -f filename

> gives the verbose table of contents for an archive stored in filename.

cpio/copyout.c:
Don't output a file if the major, minor or totality of its rdev would be
truncated. Print a message about the skipped files to stderr but don't
report the error in the exit status. cpio's abysmal error handling doesn't
allow continuing after an error, and the rdev checks had to be misplaced
to avoid the problem of returning an error code from routines that return
void.
pax/pax.h:
Use the system macros for major(), minor() and makedev().
pax already checks _all_ output conversions for overflow. This has the
undesirable effect that failure to convert relatively useless fields
such as st_dev for regular files causes files not to be output. pax

- unlinking doesn't actually remove the target data if the target is multiply

stat the pathname "" in order to decide that the pathname "/" is

the POSIX behaviour of not allowing the pathname "" to be an alias
for ".". It presumably also caused `cp /etc/motd /' to fail in
the unlikely event that "." is not stat'able.
Be more careful about concatenating pathnames: don't check that
the pathname fits until prefixes have been discarded (the check
was too strict). Print the final pathname in error messages.

POSIX.2 looks pretty unequivocal to me, and it agrees with you.
Under the explanation of the "-p" option, it says, "Each dir operand that
names an existing directory shall be ignored without error." Under the
explanation of exit status zero, it says, "All the specified directories were
created successfully, or the-p option was specified and all the specified
directories now exist."
Seems to me POSIX requires exactly the behavior you want.
