The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.

The core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME
GLib is a bundle of three (formerly five) low-level system libraries written in C and developed mainly by GNOME. GLib's code was separated from GTK, so it can be used by software other than GNOME and has been developed in parallel ever since.
libfprint offers support for consumer fingerprint reader devices.
A set of basic GNU tools commonly used in shell scripts
These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
D-Bus service for Fingerprint reader access
The fprint project aims to add support for consumer fingerprint reader devices, in Linux, as well as other free Unices.
A tool to select system authentication and identity sources from a list of supported profiles
Authselect is designed to be a replacement for authconfig (which is the default tool for this job on Fedora and RHEL based systems) but it takes a different approach to configure the system. Instead of letting the administrator build the PAM stack with a tool (which may potentially end up with a broken configuration), it would ship several tested stacks (profiles) that solve a use-case and are well tested and supported. At the same time, some obsolete features of authconfig would not be supported by authselect. This package contains commands for selecting system identity and authentication sources, and common library files for the authselect tool. Authselect will replace /usr/sbin/authconfig with a tool that will translate some of the authconfig calls into authselect calls. It provides only minimum backward compatibility and users are encouraged to migrate to authselect completely.
Bash is the GNU Project's shell. Bash is the Bourne Again SHell. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is a system of libraries that handle the authentication tasks of applications (services) on the system.
