config FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS
bool "Support for shadow passwords"
default n
help
Build support for shadow password in /etc/shadow. This file is only
readable by root and thus the encrypted passwords are no longer
publicly readable.
config USE_BB_SHADOW
bool " Use busybox shadow password functions"
default y
depends on USE_BB_PWD_GRP && FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS
help
If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's shadow
password handling functions. And if you are using the GNU C library
(glibc), you will then need to install the /etc/nsswitch.conf
configuration file and the required /lib/libnss_* libraries in
order for the shadow password functions to work. This generally
makes your embedded system quite a bit larger.
Enabling this option will cause busybox to directly access the
system's /etc/shadow file when handling shadow passwords. This
makes your system smaller and I will get fewer emails asking about
how glibc NSS works). When this option is enabled, you will not be
able to use PAM to access shadow passwords from remote LDAP
password servers and whatnot.
config USE_BB_PWD_GRP
bool "Use internal password and group functions rather than system functions"
default n
help
If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's password
and group functions. And if you are using the GNU C library
(glibc), you will then need to install the /etc/nsswitch.conf
configuration file and the required /lib/libnss_* libraries in
order for the password and group functions to work. This generally
makes your embedded system quite a bit larger.
Enabling this option will cause busybox to directly access the
system's /etc/password, /etc/group files (and your system will be
smaller, and I will get fewer emails asking about how glibc NSS
works). When this option is enabled, you will not be able to use
PAM to access remote LDAP password servers and whatnot. And if you
want hostname resolution to work with glibc, you still need the
/lib/libnss_* libraries.
If you enable this option, it will add about 1.5k to busybox.
