9 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADD_SHELL
11 default n if BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DESKTOP
13 Add shells to /etc/shells.
15 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_REMOVE_SHELL
17 default n if BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DESKTOP
19 Remove shells from /etc/shells.
21 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS
22 bool "Support for shadow passwords"
25 Build support for shadow password in /etc/shadow. This file is only
26 readable by root and thus the encrypted passwords are no longer
29 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_BB_PWD_GRP
30 bool "Use internal password and group functions rather than system functions"
33 If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's password
34 and group functions. And if you are using the GNU C library
35 (glibc), you will then need to install the /etc/nsswitch.conf
36 configuration file and the required /lib/libnss_* libraries in
37 order for the password and group functions to work. This generally
38 makes your embedded system quite a bit larger.
40 Enabling this option will cause busybox to directly access the
41 system's /etc/password, /etc/group files (and your system will be
42 smaller, and I will get fewer emails asking about how glibc NSS
43 works). When this option is enabled, you will not be able to use
44 PAM to access remote LDAP password servers and whatnot. And if you
45 want hostname resolution to work with glibc, you still need the
46 /lib/libnss_* libraries.
48 If you need to use glibc's nsswitch.conf mechanism
49 (e.g. if user/group database is NOT stored in /etc/passwd etc),
50 you must NOT use this option.
52 If you enable this option, it will add about 1.5k.
54 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_BB_SHADOW
55 bool "Use internal shadow password functions"
57 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_BB_PWD_GRP && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SHADOWPASSWDS
59 If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's shadow
60 password handling functions. And if you are using the GNU C library
61 (glibc), you will then need to install the /etc/nsswitch.conf
62 configuration file and the required /lib/libnss_* libraries in
63 order for the shadow password functions to work. This generally
64 makes your embedded system quite a bit larger.
66 Enabling this option will cause busybox to directly access the
67 system's /etc/shadow file when handling shadow passwords. This
68 makes your system smaller (and I will get fewer emails asking about
69 how glibc NSS works). When this option is enabled, you will not be
70 able to use PAM to access shadow passwords from remote LDAP
71 password servers and whatnot.
73 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_BB_CRYPT
74 bool "Use internal crypt functions"
77 Busybox has internal DES and MD5 crypt functions.
78 They produce results which are identical to corresponding
79 standard C library functions.
81 If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's
82 crypt functions. Most C libraries use large (~70k)
83 static buffers there, and also combine them with more general
84 DES encryption/decryption.
86 For busybox, having large static buffers is undesirable,
87 especially on NOMMU machines. Busybox also doesn't need
88 DES encryption/decryption and can do with smaller code.
90 If you enable this option, it will add about 4.8k of code
91 if you are building dynamically linked executable.
92 In static build, it makes code _smaller_ by about 1.2k,
93 and likely many kilobytes less of bss.
95 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_BB_CRYPT_SHA
96 bool "Enable SHA256/512 crypt functions"
98 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_BB_CRYPT
100 Enable this if you have passwords starting with "$5$" or "$6$"
101 in your /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files. These passwords
102 are hashed using SHA256 and SHA512 algorithms. Support for them
103 was added to glibc in 2008.
104 With this option off, login will fail password check for any
105 user which has password encrypted with these algorithms.
107 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADDUSER
111 Utility for creating a new user account.
113 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ADDUSER_LONG_OPTIONS
114 bool "Enable long options"
116 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADDUSER && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LONG_OPTS
118 Support long options for the adduser applet.
120 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_NAMES
121 bool "Enable sanity check on user/group names in adduser and addgroup"
123 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADDUSER || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADDGROUP
125 Enable sanity check on user and group names in adduser and addgroup.
126 To avoid problems, the user or group name should consist only of
127 letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs and dashes,
128 and not start with a dash (as defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001).
129 For compatibility with Samba machine accounts "$" is also supported
130 at the end of the user or group name.
132 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FIRST_SYSTEM_ID
133 int "First valid system uid or gid for adduser and addgroup"
134 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADDUSER || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADDGROUP

170 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DELUSER
174 Utility for deleting a user account.
176 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DELGROUP
180 Utility for deleting a group account.
182 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_DEL_USER_FROM_GROUP
183 bool "Support for removing users from groups"
185 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DELGROUP
187 If called with two non-option arguments, deluser
188 or delgroup will remove an user from a specified group.
190 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_GETTY
193 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
195 getty lets you log in on a tty. It is normally invoked by init.
197 Note that you can save a few bytes by disabling it and
198 using login applet directly.
199 If you need to reset tty attributes before calling login,
200 this script approximates getty:
202 exec </dev/$1 >/dev/$1 2>&1 || exit 1
204 stty sane; stty ispeed 38400; stty ospeed 38400
205 printf "%s login: " "`hostname`"
207 exec /bin/login "$login"
209 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGIN
212 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
214 login is used when signing onto a system.
216 Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
219 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PAM
220 bool "Support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)"
223 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGIN
225 Use PAM in login(1) instead of direct access to password database.
228 You should install libpam from the packages feed and compile it
229 before trying to build busysbox.
231 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGIN_SCRIPTS
232 bool "Support for login scripts"
233 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGIN
236 Enable this if you want login to execute $LOGIN_PRE_SUID_SCRIPT
237 just prior to switching from root to logged-in user.
239 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_NOLOGIN
240 bool "Support for /etc/nologin"
242 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGIN
244 The file /etc/nologin is used by (some versions of) login(1).
245 If it exists, non-root logins are prohibited.
247 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SECURETTY
248 bool "Support for /etc/securetty"
250 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOGIN
252 The file /etc/securetty is used by (some versions of) login(1).
253 The file contains the device names of tty lines (one per line,
254 without leading /dev/) on which root is allowed to login.
256 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PASSWD
259 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
261 passwd changes passwords for user and group accounts. A normal user
262 may only change the password for his/her own account, the super user
263 may change the password for any account. The administrator of a group
264 may change the password for the group.
266 Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
269 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_PASSWD_WEAK_CHECK
270 bool "Check new passwords for weakness"
272 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PASSWD
274 With this option passwd will refuse new passwords which are "weak".
276 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CRYPTPW
280 Encrypts the given password with the crypt(3) libc function
281 using the given salt. Debian has this utility under mkpasswd
282 name. Busybox provides mkpasswd as an alias for cryptpw.
284 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHPASSWD
288 Reads a file of user name and password pairs from standard input
289 and uses this information to update a group of existing users.
291 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SU
294 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
296 su is used to become another user during a login session.
297 Invoked without a username, su defaults to becoming the super user.
299 Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
302 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SU_SYSLOG
303 bool "Enable su to write to syslog"
305 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SU

309 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SU
312 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SULOGIN
315 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
317 sulogin is invoked when the system goes into single user
318 mode (this is done through an entry in inittab).
320 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_VLOCK
324 Build the "vlock" applet which allows you to lock (virtual) terminals.
326 Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
