11 bool "Enable IPv6 support"
14 Enable IPv6 support in busybox.
15 This adds IPv6 support in the networking applets.
17 config FEATURE_UNIX_LOCAL
18 bool "Enable Unix domain socket support (usually not needed)"
21 Enable Unix domain socket support in all busybox networking
22 applets. Address of the form local:/path/to/unix/socket
25 This extension is almost never used in real world usage.
26 You most likely want to say N.
28 config FEATURE_PREFER_IPV4_ADDRESS
29 bool "Prefer IPv4 addresses from DNS queries"
31 depends on FEATURE_IPV6
33 Use IPv4 address of network host if it has one.
35 If this option is off, the first returned address will be used.
36 This may cause problems when your DNS server is IPv6-capable and
37 is returning IPv6 host addresses too. If IPv6 address
38 precedes IPv4 one in DNS reply, busybox network applets
39 (e.g. wget) will use IPv6 address. On an IPv6-incapable host
40 or network applets will fail to connect to the host
43 config VERBOSE_RESOLUTION_ERRORS
44 bool "Verbose resolution errors"
47 Enable if you are not satisfied with simplistic
48 "can't resolve 'hostname.com'" and want to know more.
49 This may increase size of your executable a bit.
56 Manipulate the system ARP cache.
63 Ping hosts by ARP packets.
70 Manage ethernet bridges.
71 Supports addbr/delbr and addif/delif.
73 config FEATURE_BRCTL_FANCY
78 Add support for extended option like:
79 setageing, setfd, sethello, setmaxage,
80 setpathcost, setportprio, setbridgeprio,
82 This adds about 600 bytes.
84 config FEATURE_BRCTL_SHOW

120 bool "Enable upload commands"
124 Enable all kinds of FTP upload commands (-w option)
126 config FEATURE_FTPD_ACCEPT_BROKEN_LIST
127 bool "Enable workaround for RFC-violating clients"
131 Some ftp clients (among them KDE's Konqueror) issue illegal
132 "LIST -l" requests. This option works around such problems.
133 It might prevent you from listing files starting with "-" and
134 it increases the code size by ~40 bytes.
135 Most other ftp servers seem to behave similar to this.
141 Retrieve a remote file via FTP.
147 Store a remote file via FTP.
149 config FEATURE_FTPGETPUT_LONG_OPTIONS
150 bool "Enable long options in ftpget/ftpput"
152 depends on LONG_OPTS && (FTPGET || FTPPUT)
154 Support long options for the ftpget/ftpput applet.
160 Show or set the system's host name.
166 Serve web pages via an HTTP server.
168 config FEATURE_HTTPD_RANGES
169 bool "Support 'Ranges:' header"
173 Makes httpd emit "Accept-Ranges: bytes" header and understand
174 "Range: bytes=NNN-[MMM]" header. Allows for resuming interrupted
175 downloads, seeking in multimedia players etc.
177 config FEATURE_HTTPD_USE_SENDFILE
178 bool "Use sendfile system call"
182 When enabled, httpd will use the kernel sendfile() function
183 instead of read/write loop.
185 config FEATURE_HTTPD_SETUID
186 bool "Enable -u <user> option"
190 This option allows the server to run as a specific user
191 rather than defaulting to the user that starts the server.
192 Use of this option requires special privileges to change to a
195 config FEATURE_HTTPD_BASIC_AUTH
196 bool "Enable Basic http Authentication"
200 Utilizes password settings from /etc/httpd.conf for basic
201 authentication on a per url basis.
202 Example for httpd.conf file:
205 config FEATURE_HTTPD_AUTH_MD5
206 bool "Support MD5 crypted passwords for http Authentication"
208 depends on FEATURE_HTTPD_BASIC_AUTH
210 Enables encrypted passwords, and wildcard user/passwords
212 User '*' means 'any system user name is ok',
213 password of '*' means 'use system password for this user'
215 /adm:toor:$1$P/eKnWXS$aI1aPGxT.dJD5SzqAKWrF0
219 config FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI
220 bool "Support Common Gateway Interface (CGI)"
224 This option allows scripts and executables to be invoked
225 when specific URLs are requested.
227 config FEATURE_HTTPD_CONFIG_WITH_SCRIPT_INTERPR
228 bool "Support for running scripts through an interpreter"
230 depends on FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI
232 This option enables support for running scripts through an
233 interpreter. Turn this on if you want PHP scripts to work
234 properly. You need to supply an additional line in your
236 *.php:/path/to/your/php
238 config FEATURE_HTTPD_SET_REMOTE_PORT_TO_ENV
239 bool "Set REMOTE_PORT environment variable for CGI"
241 depends on FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI
243 Use of this option can assist scripts in generating
244 references that contain a unique port number.
246 config FEATURE_HTTPD_ENCODE_URL_STR
247 bool "Enable -e option (useful for CGIs written as shell scripts)"
251 This option allows html encoding of arbitrary strings for display
252 by the browser. Output goes to stdout.
253 For example, httpd -e "<Hello World>" produces
254 "<Hello World>".
256 config FEATURE_HTTPD_ERROR_PAGES
257 bool "Support for custom error pages"
261 This option allows you to define custom error pages in
262 the configuration file instead of the default HTTP status
263 error pages. For instance, if you add the line:
265 in the config file, the server will respond the specified
266 '/path/e404.html' file instead of the terse '404 NOT FOUND'
269 config FEATURE_HTTPD_PROXY
270 bool "Support for reverse proxy"
274 This option allows you to define URLs that will be forwarded
275 to another HTTP server. To setup add the following line to the
277 P:/url/:http://hostname[:port]/new/path/
278 Then a request to /url/myfile will be forwarded to
279 http://hostname[:port]/new/path/myfile.
281 config FEATURE_HTTPD_GZIP
282 bool "Support for GZIP content encoding"
286 Makes httpd send files using GZIP content encoding if the
287 client supports it and a pre-compressed <file>.gz exists.
292 select PLATFORM_LINUX
294 Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network interfaces.
296 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_STATUS
297 bool "Enable status reporting output (+7k)"
301 If ifconfig is called with no arguments it will display the status
302 of the currently active interfaces.
304 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_SLIP
305 bool "Enable slip-specific options \"keepalive\" and \"outfill\""
309 Allow "keepalive" and "outfill" support for SLIP. If you're not
310 planning on using serial lines, leave this unchecked.
312 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_MEMSTART_IOADDR_IRQ
313 bool "Enable options \"mem_start\", \"io_addr\", and \"irq\""
317 Allow the start address for shared memory, start address for I/O,
318 and/or the interrupt line used by the specified device.
320 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_HW
321 bool "Enable option \"hw\" (ether only)"
325 Set the hardware address of this interface, if the device driver
326 supports this operation. Currently, we only support the 'ether'
329 config FEATURE_IFCONFIG_BROADCAST_PLUS
330 bool "Set the broadcast automatically"
334 Setting this will make ifconfig attempt to find the broadcast
335 automatically if the value '+' is used.

350 Network interface plug detection daemon.
356 Activate or deactivate the specified interfaces. This applet makes
357 use of either "ifconfig" and "route" or the "ip" command to actually
358 configure network interfaces. Therefore, you will probably also want
359 to enable either IFCONFIG and ROUTE, or enable
360 FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP and the various IP options. Of
361 course you could use non-busybox versions of these programs, so
362 against my better judgement (since this will surely result in plenty
363 of support questions on the mailing list), I do not force you to
364 enable these additional options. It is up to you to supply either
365 "ifconfig", "route" and "run-parts" or the "ip" command, either
366 via busybox or via standalone utilities.
368 config IFUPDOWN_IFSTATE_PATH
369 string "Absolute path to ifstate file"
370 default "/var/run/ifstate"
373 ifupdown keeps state information in a file called ifstate.
374 Typically it is located in /var/run/ifstate, however
375 some distributions tend to put it in other places
376 (debian, for example, uses /etc/network/run/ifstate).
377 This config option defines location of ifstate.
379 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
384 Use the iproute "ip" command to implement "ifup" and "ifdown", rather
385 than the default of using the older 'ifconfig' and 'route' utilities.

403 bool "Use busybox ifconfig and route applets"
405 depends on IFUPDOWN && !FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_IP
409 Use the busybox iproute "ifconfig" and "route" applets to
410 implement the "ifup" and "ifdown" utilities.
412 If left disabled, you must install the full-blown ifconfig
413 and route utilities, or the "ifup" and "ifdown" applets will not

439 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_MAPPING
440 bool "Enable mapping support"
444 This enables support for the "mapping" stanza, unless you have
445 a weird network setup you don't need it.
447 config FEATURE_IFUPDOWN_EXTERNAL_DHCP
448 bool "Support for external dhcp clients"
452 This enables support for the external dhcp clients. Clients are
453 tried in the following order: dhcpcd, dhclient, pump and udhcpc.
454 Otherwise, if udhcpc applet is enabled, it is used.
455 Otherwise, ifup/ifdown will have no support for DHCP.

709 Telnet is an interface to the TELNET protocol, but is also commonly
710 used to test other simple protocols.
712 config FEATURE_TELNET_TTYPE
713 bool "Pass TERM type to remote host"
717 Setting this option will forward the TERM environment variable to the
718 remote host you are connecting to. This is useful to make sure that
719 things like ANSI colors and other control sequences behave.
721 config FEATURE_TELNET_AUTOLOGIN
722 bool "Pass USER type to remote host"
726 Setting this option will forward the USER environment variable to the
727 remote host you are connecting to. This is useful when you need to
728 log into a machine without telling the username (autologin). This
729 option enables `-a' and `-l USER' arguments.
734 select FEATURE_SYSLOG
736 A daemon for the TELNET protocol, allowing you to log onto the host
737 running the daemon. Please keep in mind that the TELNET protocol
738 sends passwords in plain text. If you can't afford the space for an
739 SSH daemon and you trust your network, you may say 'y' here. As a
740 more secure alternative, you should seriously consider installing the
741 very small Dropbear SSH daemon instead:
742 http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
744 Note that for busybox telnetd to work you need several things:
745 First of all, your kernel needs:
749 Next, you need a /dev/pts directory on your root filesystem:
752 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Sep 23 13:21 /dev/pts/
754 Next you need the pseudo terminal master multiplexer /dev/ptmx:
757 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Sep 23 13:55 /dev/ptmx
759 Any /dev/ttyp[0-9]* files you may have can be removed.
760 Next, you need to mount the devpts filesystem on /dev/pts using:
762 mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
764 You need to be sure that busybox has LOGIN and
765 FEATURE_SUID enabled. And finally, you should make
766 certain that Busybox has been installed setuid root:
768 chown root.root /bin/busybox
769 chmod 4755 /bin/busybox
771 with all that done, telnetd _should_ work....
774 config FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE
775 bool "Support standalone telnetd (not inetd only)"
779 Selecting this will make telnetd able to run standalone.
781 config FEATURE_TELNETD_INETD_WAIT
782 bool "Support -w SEC option (inetd wait mode)"
784 depends on FEATURE_TELNETD_STANDALONE
786 This option allows you to run telnetd in "inet wait" mode.
787 Example inetd.conf line (note "wait", not usual "nowait"):
789 telnet stream tcp wait root /bin/telnetd telnetd -w10
791 In this example, inetd passes _listening_ socket_ as fd 0
792 to telnetd when connection appears.
793 telnetd will wait for connections until all existing
794 connections are closed, and no new connections
795 appear during 10 seconds. Then it exits, and inetd continues
796 to listen for new connections.
798 This option is rarely used. "tcp nowait" is much more usual
799 way of running tcp services, including telnetd.
800 You most probably want to say N here.
806 This enables the Trivial File Transfer Protocol client program. TFTP
807 is usually used for simple, small transfers such as a root image
808 for a network-enabled bootloader.
814 This enables the Trivial File Transfer Protocol server program.
815 It expects that stdin is a datagram socket and a packet
816 is already pending on it. It will exit after one transfer.
817 In other words: it should be run from inetd in nowait mode,
818 or from udpsvd. Example: "udpsvd -E 0 69 tftpd DIR"
