libaltpw
Add alternate password support dynamically with LD_PRELOAD or by linking the shared library with the executable. Useful, for example, to make sendmail, procmail, and pop3d use an alternate password if you are an ISP.
Works with any program that uses the getpw* family of functions and the password file is configurable through the environment.
