Hi list, Kind of a brain-teaser for the gurus. The problem is that a dynamically linked busybox will not write anything to stdout or stderr, however stdin works fine. If I statically link busybox, everything works as expected.
I'm logging in using init=/bin/ash which is a symlink to /bin/busybox.static. If I then run '/bin/busybox.dynamic ash', I can actually execute commands (and I've verified this with strace). E.g. if I type 'exit\n' in this case, then I get the prompt of the original static busybox back but none of the 'exit' characters are echoed on the console. I've tried /bin/busybox.dynamic ash -c 'echo hi > /dev/stdout' and echo 'hi > /dev/stderr' as well, and those also do not produce any output. Oddly, /bin/busybox.dynamic ash -c 'echo hi > /tmp/anotherfile' creates /tmp/anotherfile but the file is empty. Just executing /bin/busybox.dynamic prints out all of the available applets, as one would expect. I just thought I would trawl to see if any of the gurus have some suggestions. It could very well be that this is a problem with the bionic libc although I haven't seen any failed system calls in strace. Thoughts?
