TinyLogin
The worlds smallest login/passwd/getty/etc
TinyLogin is a suite of tiny Unix utilities for handling logging into, being authenticated by, changing one's password for, and otherwise maintaining users and groups on an embedded system. It also provides shadow password support to enhance system security. TinyLogin is, as the name implies, very small, and makes an excellent complement to BusyBox on an embedded System. It can be used without BusyBox, of course, but I envision them being used together most of the time.

TinyLogin is being maintained by Erik Andersen, and its ongoing development is being sponsored by Lineo.
