You now can use unstable busybox from CVS.

Robert:
You it seems have lost the utility "passwd" ;)

Is not problem getty. This poblem from login.

Installation pgrp carries out either init or login. 

Also:
As work through in inittab

ttyN::askfirst:-/bin/sh 
or
ttyN::respawn:-/bin/sh 

is analogue of monopoly work for this mode inclusion of support of 
the job control is undesirable for safety reasons.
Only auth users work safe. "init" also starts pgrp support for work 
initial scripts.


Robert:
The current version login completely is bad. 
I do not have words, this utility in any mode could not fulfil correctly. 
One example:
       if ( !strchr ( buf, '\n' ));	
		return 0;
Brrr.


Last path to loginutils/login.c and init.c in attach.
