Which is why you simply can't rely on using an out-of-the-box Unix "login" program. You need a specific utility - extremely close to a standard "login", but not quite a standard "login". > PAM can do this all very well.

Just patch busybox the way you suggested and use the patched version in your software. :) The fact that your suggestion won't necessarily make it upstream does not prevent you from using it for yourself. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
