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.
