Sorry I didn't get back to you - I'm not sure I ever saw that message... > your email also doesn't enlightem me if busybox-static usage > in initramfs does still spam the user with log messages of the type: > "Using fallback suid method" I don't know myself. (I'm not actually using those particular systems anymore, so I don't have a test system to check at the moment...) I had actually forgotten about the "Using fallback suid method" spam problem, and I will certainly agree that the messages are *really* annoying... > > Depends: klibc-utils (>= 1.5.9-1), busybox (>= 1:1.01-3) | busybox-static > > (>= 1:1.01-3), cpio, module-init-tools, udev (>= 0.086-1), findutils (>= > > 4.2.24) > > > > (Note that the busybox-initramfs package is not available.) > > it is available in ubuntu, what about aboves conern?

I'm sorry about that - I'm pretty sure if I'd seen the message I would have replied (I don't generally check the weblogs for bug reports). > or a proper fix in busybox if it is still the case? > (it might or might not be) Yeah - I don't know either. This is still something I would like to see, and I guess I was hoping the busybox maintainer(s) would be on board. I will see if I can follow up with them. Again - sorry about the miscommunication. I guess I just got busy with other things...
