  • Questions from the 2016-11.1 (to 11.1-N where N is currently 3, as built by Eric, but we're working towards 4, collaboratively):
    • The root password didn't come out as the common one when I built it (even though the /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files match the ones that Eric built).
    • The telnet service is still running when I build it (when Eric builds it, /usr/sbin/telnetd doesn't exist in the file system but /usr/bin/telnet does; when I build it, /usr/sbin/telnetd does exist in the file system and gets invoked on startup).
    • Since I had already built everything once, after applying Eric's changes, I just did 'make`; do we need to do make clean  first?
    • Are there changes not captured in the site-top directory? If so, how do we capture those?
    • Note to self: Since I'm editing on a Mac, mounting the FS directly on it, changes made to the fs_skeleton directory get touched by the Mac FS (create "*_" meta-data files). We can .gitignore these so that they don't get checked in. But creating there RFS should ignore them, as well.
    • Other notes:
      • I did a make clean  and a make  after that but telnet was still running when I booted it.
      • Also, the password for root wasn't the common one.
      • So, for these cases, the incremental build worked the same.
      • For what's worth chrt didn't ask for a password when changing the priority of a root thread; but it also didn't actually change the priority.
      • Finally, I diff'd Eric's 2016-11-2 directory with my 2016-11.1 directory and. Here's what I found:
        • From what I understood, we should have been starting with 2016-11.1 to make 2016-11.1-2 but Eric started with 2016-11 (not 11.1 but just 11). This means ALOT of things differed slightly here and there (mostly with the versions of packages that were used), but, interestingly:
          • The top-level .config file changed (using what?) such that how the password is hashed is different (using sha-256 instead of md5).
          • The config file for busybox also changed (again, using what?) such that telnet was removed from it.
