Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist fgetty is a really small getty and login system based on dietlibc.
Just to demonstrate the difference between this and conventional gettys (quoting Felix von Leitner, author of this getty replacement): ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ The difference is remarkable: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 5487 0.0 0.1 1180 444 tty5 S 00:40 0:00 /sbin/mingetty tty5 root 6035 0.0 0.0 16 16 tty5 S 00:45 0:00 /sbin/fgetty tty5 ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ This package is not only a getty replacement, but also a login system. There is login and checkpassword utilities that check against /etc/password and /etc/shadow. I'll write a replacement for su to go with this so that this package can replace both login / the various gettys License: At the moment this program is without a license. I have mailed Felix to remedy this. My guess is it'll end up as GPL since all his other stuff is released under GPL.
