% Login with tcp wrappers % Michael Glad , David Parsons % Wed Jan 16 11:40:42 PST 2008 #Login This is the login program from util-linux-2.4, modified to use [tcp wrappers](ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/index.html) for authentication instead of `/etc/securetty` (which is an admirable solution for multiuser machines with serial connections to terminals, but modern environments appear to be primarily tcp-ip connections to the machine.) **Login** is not burdened with excessive portability or ease of configuration; it's just a collection of files to download and compile. It's stable (I use it in [Mastodon Linux](/~mastodon)) and hasn't been modified since the mid 1990s. It is composed of these text files: * [`README`](README) * [`login.c`](login.c) * [`x.c`](x.c) * [`Makefile`](Makefile) * [`pathnames.h`](pathnames.h) **Login** is [BSD-licensed](COPYRIGHT.html) except for the [manual page](login.1), which is released under the [GPL](../gpl.html).
