"I really wish AT&T would free up a few programs like login and
getty as sources distributed with binary licenses. Some people
really do need to add their own logic to these things for
various reasons. Maybe someday there'll be a workable GNU
version of these programs."
In light of RMS' philosophy of system access, as expressed in his
"whyhack.text" of 1983, I doubt there'll ever be a GNU program that
demands a password before granting access.
