config FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS
bool "Support for shadow passwords"
default y
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_PWD_GRP
bool "Use internal password and group functions rather than system functions"
default y
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 need to use glibc's nsswitch.conf mechanism
(e.g. if user/group database is NOT stored in /etc/passwd etc),
you must NOT use this option.

If you enable this option, it will add about 1.5k.

config USE_BB_CRYPT
bool "Use internal crypt functions"
default y
help
2008-06-16 01:44:26 +05:30
Busybox has internal DES and MD5 crypt functions.
They produce results which are identical to corresponding
standard C library functions.
If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's
crypt functions. Most C libraries use large (~70k)
2008-06-16 01:44:26 +05:30
static buffers there, and also combine them with more general
DES encryption/decryption.
2008-06-16 01:44:26 +05:30
For busybox, having large static buffers is undesirable,
especially on NOMMU machines. Busybox also doesn't need
DES encryption/decryption and can do with smaller code.
2008-06-16 01:44:26 +05:30
If you enable this option, it will add about 4.8k of code
if you are building dynamically linked executable.
2008-06-16 01:44:26 +05:30
In static build, it makes code _smaller_ by about 1.2k,
and likely many kilobytes less of bss.

config USE_BB_CRYPT_SHA
bool "Enable SHA256/512 crypt functions"
default y
depends on USE_BB_CRYPT
help
Enable this if you have passwords starting with "$5$" or "$6$"
in your /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files. These passwords
are hashed using SHA256 and SHA512 algorithms. Support for them
was added to glibc in 2008.
With this option off, login will fail password check for any
user which has password encrypted with these algorithms.
config ADDUSER
bool "adduser"
default y
help
Utility for creating a new user account.
config FEATURE_ADDUSER_LONG_OPTIONS
bool "Enable long options"
default y

config FEATURE_CHECK_NAMES
bool "Enable sanity check on user/group names in adduser and addgroup"
default n
depends on ADDUSER || ADDGROUP
help
Enable sanity check on user and group names in adduser and addgroup.
To avoid problems, the user or group name should consist only of
letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs and dashes,
and not start with a dash (as defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001).
For compatibility with Samba machine accounts "$" is also supported
at the end of the user or group name.
