/ffp/bin/sh vs /bin/bash
Hi everybody,
I used to the bash shell under Linux/Ubuntu. With my DNS-323, I discovered that my shell is /ffp/bin/sh. There is no big deal about this, but I am wondering the big difference between the two? Anybody knows?
I usually have a .bashrc file in my home directory, under Ubuntu, that contains a lot of aliases. I created one on my DNS-323, but it is not sourced automatically when I log in (but is OK when i do ". .bashrc"). Is there a way to do such a thing?
Thanks

/ffp/bin/sh is not a bash. It's ash from busybox.

If you want bash, install it and change your shell. http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0. … .html#bash

Re: /ffp/bin/sh vs /bin/bash
Once bash installed, creating the file "~/.bashrc" is not enough; You must also create the file "~/.bash_profile" and add this to it:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc;
fi
.bashrc = 644 = rw-r--r--
.bash_profile = 644 = rw-r--r--
Do not forget to replace the last field of the user, in /etc/passwd by /ffp/bin/bash
Once done, in root, store-passwd.sh to store changes in flash.

Hi there. I have the files as you have suggested when I converted to the bash shell however, when ever I log in now it come up with the following
-bash: [-f~/.bashrc]: No such file or directory
Any idea how to fix this? Its works fine but its annoying me every time I log in.
Ta,
Lambretta.

Never mind, the bash_profile file didn't have the correct spacing between the various commands in the file. All fixed now, nothing to see here, move on....

Re: /ffp/bin/sh vs /bin/bash
Where are you guys placing your .bash_profile and .bashrc files? I log into the root account via SSH, but I was under the impression that /home/root was cleared with every shutdown/reboot.

Root on my box still uses ash. My user account uses bash so the .bashrc and the .bash_profile is in my users ~ directory.

Ah, so if I use root I am stuck with ash then since the /home/root gets wiped with every reboot?

Re: /ffp/bin/sh vs /bin/bash
man usermod (see -d and -s)

Sorry, I meant that I might as well be stuck with it since I wouldn't be able to have a configuration file (e.g. .bashrc).

Re: /ffp/bin/sh vs /bin/bash
You can use whatever shell you like. The point is that ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc must be in ~, which is a problem when it's on the ramdisk. So, move ~ to a hard disk and you're done, which is what usermod -d does.
