The thing about /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc is, that most scripts are migrating to ash and as far as I know it doesn't read any of those files (at least the busybox ash)..

Obviously the bash scripts are only for bash, but /etc/profile is globally used afaik (yes, busybox ash uses it) and the user file is something like ~/.profile (which bash might read as well) iirc. I'm not sure if there's an equivalent *rc file though.

It was several versions back when I tried, but at the time busybox ash didn't read my environment at all. Glad to see things have changed.

Busybox seems quite busy. Maybe it's timely to look at its lawsuits over GPL violations:

Settlements for undisclosed amounts:
Mar 6, 2008, High Gain Antennas, Verizon Communications
Dec 17, 2007*: Xterasys

Another BusyBox lawsuit settled
[Posted December 17, 2007 by corbet]

The Software Freedom Law Center has sent out a press release announcing the settlement of the GPL-infringement suit filed on behalf of the BusyBox developers against Xterasys. "Once SFLC verifies that the complete source code is available, Xterasys' full rights to distribute BusyBox under the GPL will be reinstated. Additionally, Xterasys has agreed to appoint an internal Open Source Compliance Officer to monitor and ensure GPL compliance, and to notify previous recipients of BusyBox from Xterasys of their rights to the software under the GPL. Xterasys will also pay an undisclosed amount of financial consideration to the plaintiffs."

Also, September 2007, Monsoon

SFLC files GPL lawsuit on behalf of Busybox developers
By Bruce Byfield on September 20, 2007 (10:30:00 PM)

The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) has filed a lawsuit against Monsoon Multimedia on behalf of two BusyBox developers. The suit alleges that Monsoon' s new product Hava, and its firmware, distribute code borrowed from BusyBox, a collection of UNIX utilities for embedded systems, but aren't making the source code available, as is required under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Daniel B. Ravicher, SFLC legal director, says, "This is the first time that either myself or anyone else that I know of in the United States has actually had to go to court to force compliance with the GPL."
