You will find the same header also in:
file:///root/Desktop/busybox.orig/libbb/correct_password.c (rewritten: patch pending, and a new one I'm working on now but not ready yet)
file:///root/Desktop/busybox.orig/libbb/pwd2spwd.c (to be removed: patch pending)
file:///root/Desktop/busybox.orig/libbb/restricted_shell.c
file:///root/Desktop/busybox.orig/libbb/run_shell.c
file:///root/Desktop/busybox.orig/libbb/setup_environment.c
it was also in:
file:///root/Desktop/busybox.orig/libbb/obscure.c
but this one was already rewritten and is now GPL.
