+ If you leave this disabled, busybox will use the system's shadow

+ configuration file and the required /lib/libnss_* libraries in

+
+ Enabling this option will cause busybox to directly access the
+ system's /etc/shadow file when handling shadow passwords. This
+ makes your system smaller and I will get fewer emails asking about
+ how glibc NSS works). When this option is enabled, you will not be
