87 bool "Support 'Ranges:' header"
91 Makes httpd emit "Accept-Ranges: bytes" header and understand
92 "Range: bytes=NNN-[MMM]" header. Allows for resuming interrupted
93 downloads, seeking in multimedia players etc.
95 config FEATURE_HTTPD_USE_SENDFILE
96 bool "Use sendfile system call"
100 When enabled, httpd will use the kernel sendfile() function
101 instead of read/write loop.
103 config FEATURE_HTTPD_RELOAD_CONFIG_SIGHUP
104 bool "Support reloading the global config file using hup signal"
108 This option enables processing of SIGHUP to reload cached
109 configuration settings.
111 config FEATURE_HTTPD_SETUID
112 bool "Enable -u <user> option"
116 This option allows the server to run as a specific user
117 rather than defaulting to the user that starts the server.
118 Use of this option requires special privileges to change to a
121 config FEATURE_HTTPD_BASIC_AUTH
122 bool "Enable Basic http Authentication"
126 Utilizes password settings from /etc/httpd.conf for basic
127 authentication on a per url basis.
129 config FEATURE_HTTPD_AUTH_MD5
130 bool "Support MD5 crypted passwords for http Authentication"

150 This option allows scripts and executables to be invoked
151 when specific URLs are requested.
153 config FEATURE_HTTPD_CONFIG_WITH_SCRIPT_INTERPR
154 bool "Enable support for running scripts through an interpreter"
156 depends on FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI
158 This option enables support for running scripts through an
159 interpreter. Turn this on if you want PHP scripts to work
160 properly. You need to supply an additional line in your httpd
162 *.php:/path/to/your/php
164 config FEATURE_HTTPD_SET_REMOTE_PORT_TO_ENV
165 bool "Support the REMOTE_PORT environment variable for CGI"
167 depends on FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI
169 Use of this option can assist scripts in generating
170 references that contain a unique port number.
172 config FEATURE_HTTPD_ENCODE_URL_STR
173 bool "Enable the -e option for shell script CGI simplification."
177 This option allows html encoding arbitrary
178 strings for display of the browser. Output goes to stdout.
179 For example, httpd -e "<Hello World>" as
180 "<Hello World>".
182 config FEATURE_HTTPD_ERROR_PAGES
183 bool "Enable support for custom error pages"
187 This option allows you to define custom error pages in
188 the configuration file instead of the default HTTP status
189 error pages. For instance, if you add the line:
191 in the config file, the server will respond the specified
192 '/path/e404.html' file instead of the terse '404 NOT FOUND'
195 config FEATURE_HTTPD_PROXY
196 bool "Enable support for reverse proxy"
200 This option allows you to define URLs that will be forwarded
201 to another HTTP server. To setup add the following line to the
203 P:/url/:http://hostname[:port]/new/path/
204 Then a request to /url/myfile will be forwarded to
205 http://hostname[:port]/new/path/myfile.
211 Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces.
213 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_STATUS
214 bool "Enable status reporting output (+7k)"
218 If ifconfig is called with no arguments it will display the status
219 of the currently active interfaces.
221 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_SLIP
222 bool "Enable slip-specific options \"keepalive\" and \"outfill\""
226 Allow "keepalive" and "outfill" support for SLIP. If you're not
227 planning on using serial lines, leave this unchecked.
229 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_MEMSTART_IOADDR_IRQ
230 bool "Enable options \"mem_start\", \"io_addr\", and \"irq\""
234 Allow the start address for shared memory, start address for I/O,
235 and/or the interrupt line used by the specified device.
237 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_HW
238 bool "Enable option \"hw\" (ether only)"
242 Set the hardware address of this interface, if the device driver
243 supports this operation. Currently, we only support the 'ether'
246 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_BROADCAST_PLUS
247 bool "Set the broadcast automatically"
251 Setting this will make ifconfig attempt to find the broadcast
252 automatically if the value '+' is used.
258 Activate or deactivate the specified interfaces. This applet makes
259 use of either "ifconfig" and "route" or the "ip" command to actually
260 configure network interfaces. Therefore, you will probably also want
261 to enable either IFCONFIG and ROUTE, or enable
262 FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP and the various IP options. Of
263 course you could use non-busybox versions of these programs, so
264 against my better judgement (since this will surely result in plenty
265 of support questions on the mailing list), I do not force you to
266 enable these additional options. It is up to you to supply either
267 "ifconfig", "route" and "run-parts" or the "ip" command, either
268 via busybox or via standalone utilities.
270 config IFUPDOWN_IFSTATE_PATH
271 string "Absolute path to ifstate file"
272 default "/var/run/ifstate"
275 ifupdown keeps state information in a file called ifstate.
276 Typically it is located in /var/run/ifstate, however
277 some distributions tend to put it in other places
278 (debian, for example, uses /etc/network/run/ifstate).
279 This config option defines location of ifstate.
281 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
286 Use the iproute "ip" command to implement "ifup" and "ifdown", rather
287 than the default of using the older 'ifconfig' and 'route' utilities.
289 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP_BUILTIN
290 bool "Use busybox ip applet"
292 depends on FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
294 select FEATURE_IP_ADDRESS
295 select FEATURE_IP_LINK
296 select FEATURE_IP_ROUTE
298 Use the busybox iproute "ip" applet to implement "ifupdown".
300 If left disabled, you must install the full-blown iproute2
301 utility or the "ifup" and "ifdown" applets will not work.
303 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IFCONFIG_BUILTIN
304 bool "Use busybox ifconfig and route applets"
306 depends on IFUPDOWN && !FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
310 Use the busybox iproute "ifconfig" and "route" applets to
311 implement the "ifup" and "ifdown" utilities.
313 If left disabled, you must install the full-blown ifconfig
314 and route utilities, or the "ifup" and "ifdown" applets will not
317 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPV4
318 bool "Enable support for IPv4"
322 If you want ifup/ifdown to talk IPv4, leave this on.
324 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPV6
325 bool "Enable support for IPv6"
327 depends on IFUPDOWN && FEATURE_IPV6
329 If you need support for IPv6, turn this option on.
332 ### config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IPX
333 ### bool "Enable support for IPX"
335 ### depends on IFUPDOWN
337 ### If this option is selected you can use busybox to work with IPX
340 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_MAPPING
341 bool "Enable mapping support"
345 This enables support for the "mapping" stanza, unless you have
346 a weird network setup you don't need it.
348 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_EXTERNAL_DHCP
349 bool "Enable support for external dhcp clients"
353 This enables support for the external dhcp clients. Clients are
354 tried in the following order: dhcpcd, dhclient, pump and udhcpc.
355 Otherwise, if udhcpc applet is enabled, it is used.
356 Otherwise, ifup/ifdown will have no support for DHCP.

535 bool "Netcat server options (-l)"
539 Allow netcat to act as a server.
542 bool "Netcat extensions (-eiw and filename)"
546 Add -e (support for executing the rest of the command line after
547 making or receiving a successful connection), -i (delay interval for
548 lines sent), -w (timeout for initial connection).
554 netstat prints information about the Linux networking subsystem.
556 config FEATURE_NETSTAT_WIDE
557 bool " Enable wide netstat output"
561 Add support for wide columns. Useful when displaying IPv6 addresses
568 nslookup is a tool to query Internet name servers.
574 ping uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to
575 elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway.

596 same time provide full support for ICMP packets.
602 Route displays or manipulates the kernel's IP routing tables.
608 slattach is a small utility to attach network interfaces to serial lines.
614 Telnet is an interface to the TELNET protocol, but is also commonly
615 used to test other simple protocols.
617 config FEATURE_TELNET_TTYPE
618 bool "Pass TERM type to remote host"
622 Setting this option will forward the TERM environment variable to the
623 remote host you are connecting to. This is useful to make sure that
624 things like ANSI colors and other control sequences behave.
626 config FEATURE_TELNET_AUTOLOGIN
627 bool "Pass USER type to remote host"
631 Setting this option will forward the USER environment variable to the
632 remote host you are connecting to. This is useful when you need to
633 log into a machine without telling the username (autologin). This
634 option enables `-a' and `-l USER' arguments.
639 select FEATURE_SYSLOG
641 A daemon for the TELNET protocol, allowing you to log onto the host
642 running the daemon. Please keep in mind that the TELNET protocol
643 sends passwords in plain text. If you can't afford the space for an
644 SSH daemon and you trust your network, you may say 'y' here. As a
645 more secure alternative, you should seriously consider installing the
646 very small Dropbear SSH daemon instead:
647 http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
649 Note that for busybox telnetd to work you need several things:
650 First of all, your kernel needs:
654 Next, you need a /dev/pts directory on your root filesystem:
657 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 23 13:21 /dev/pts/
659 Next you need the pseudo terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx:
662 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Sep 23 13:55 /dev/ptmx
664 Any /dev/ttyp[0-9]* files you may have can be removed.
665 Next, you need to mount the devpts filesystem on /dev/pts using:
667 mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
669 You need to be sure that Busybox has LOGIN and
670 FEATURE_SUID enabled. And finally, you should make
671 certain that Busybox has been installed setuid root:
673 chown root.root /bin/busybox
674 chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
676 with all that done, telnetd _should_ work....
679 config FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE
680 bool "Support standalone telnetd (not inetd only)"
684 Selecting this will make telnetd able to run standalone.
690 This enables the Trivial File Transfer Protocol client program. TFTP
691 is usually used for simple, small transfers such as a root image
692 for a network-enabled bootloader.
