libselinux provides an interface to get and set process and file security contexts and to obtain security policy decisions.
Extended crypt library for DES, MD5, Blowfish and others
libxcrypt is a modern library for one-way hashing of passwords. It supports a wide variety of both modern and historical hashing methods: yescrypt, gost-yescrypt, scrypt, bcrypt, sha512crypt, sha256crypt, md5crypt, SunMD5, sha1crypt, NT, bsdicrypt, bigcrypt, and descrypt. It provides the traditional Unix crypt and crypt_r interfaces, as well as a set of extended interfaces pioneered by Openwall Linux, crypt_rn, crypt_ra, crypt_gensalt, crypt_gensalt_rn, and crypt_gensalt_ra. libxcrypt is intended to be used by login(1), passwd(1), and other similar programs; that is, to hash a small number of passwords during an interactive authentication dialogue with a human. It is not suitable for use in bulk password-cracking applications, or in any other situation where speed is more important than careful handling of sensitive data. However, it is intended to be fast and lightweight enough for use in servers that must field thousands of login attempts per minute.
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 audit-libs package contains the dynamic libraries needed for applications to use the audit framework.
Library for password quality checking and generating random passwords.
The libpwquality library purpose is to provide common functions for password quality checking and also scoring them based on their apparent randomness. The library also provides a function for generating random passwords with good pronounceability. The library supports reading and parsing of a configuration file.
A library of database functions that work similar to the standard UNIX dbm
GNU dbm (or GDBM, for short) is a library of database functions that use extensible hashing and work similar to the standard UNIX dbm. These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and manipulate a hashed database.
CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain security-oriented characteristics, with the purpose of preventing users from choosing passwords that could easily be guessed. CrackLib is a library containing a C function which may be used in a "passwd"-like program. If you install CrackLib, you will also want to install the cracklib-dicts package.
Public client interface library for NIS(YP) and NIS+
This package contains the libnsl library. This library contains the public client interface for NIS(YP) and NIS+. This code was formerly part of glibc, but is now standalone to be able to link against TI-RPC for IPv6 support. The NIS(YP) functions are still maintained, the NIS+ part is deprecated and should not be used anymore
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.
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.
