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 (though it can of course be used without).
TinyLogin is maintained by
Erik Andersen, and licensed under the

- 3 January 2003 -- TinyLogin 1.4 released
This release fixes several small bugs, most notably, a missing
/etc/securetty file is no longer considered an error by login (and
there was much rejoicing). As usual, source can be grabbed
here.
- 18 September 2002 -- TinyLogin 1.2 released
This release fixes several bugs, including some buffer
overflows in the internal password and group handling code,
(only affects people setting USE_SYSTEM_PWD_GRP=false).
As usual, source can be grabbed
here.
- 26 April 2002 -- TinyLogin 1.02 released
This release changes the login applet so it will invoke a
login shell (not just a normal shell), fixes 'make clean' so
it doesn't leave things behind, and actually includes the
updwtmp() change this time. Other that that, there are
no significant changes. As usual, source can be grabbed
here.
- 9 April 2002 -- TinyLogin 1.01 released
This release syncs with current versions of uClibc,
avoiding a compile problem. Other that that, there are
no significant changes. As usual, source can be grabbed
here.
- 5 February 2002 -- TinyLogin 1.00 released
This release provides a number of usability fixes and code
cleanup. There have been no major recent changes -- this
is simply a collection of all the little fixes that have
collected since the last release. Anyone using TinyLogin
0.80 should probably upgrade if possible. The Changelog is
here
and the source can be grabbed
here.
- 26 December 2000 -- TinyLogin 0.80 released
This release contains some important security fixes, drops
permissions as soon as possible, by default bypasses GNU libc NSS
(so resultant systems don't even need /lib/libnss* anymore), adds
vlock, adds a 'tinylogin --install' command, uses relative symlinks
on 'make install', compiles with glibc, libc5 and uClibc, and is generally
cleaner and tighter code. The changelog can be found
here and source
can be grabbed
here.
- 21 June 2000 -- TinyLogin 0.78 released
This release contains some important security fixes, so anyone
currently using tinylogin is strongly encouraged to upgrade.
- 10 January 2000 -- TinyLogin 0.76 released
This is the first public release of tinylogin. It provides
tinylogin, adduser, addgroup, deluser, delgroup, login, sulogin,
passwd, and getty. Binary size with everything compiled in is 37k.
The changelog can be found here.
- 10 January 2000 -- TinyLogin Website
TinyLogin now has a web site. Eventually I'll be adding documentation,
howto information, and information of the latest release.
