 Here's the list (everything will fit on a WRT32X and WRT3200ACM, but it will be a tight squeeze on the lower end AC Series)

+The OpenWRT documentation states: "Full versions of standard <ins>shadow</ins> utilities. Normally, you would not…"  And that's it.  Let's finish that: Full versions of standard <ins>shadow</ins> utilities. Normally, you would not ''install, unless you want to actually succeed in accomplishing the task you need to complete.'' (That sounds a bit mean, and it isn't intended that way.  There's always a compromise that has to be made in terms of space and functionality when choosing all the options for utilities to cram into BusyBox).
+Remember, some of the above noted utilities are the ''full'' version of the utility.  A smaller / 'neutered' version of the command / utility may be included within the BusyBox software (again, look it up).
 ...and finally Samba.  It is quite useful in moving files around quickly, but it takes up a LOT of space.  The WRT32X and WRT3200ACM (to a lesser degree than the 32X) can spare the space, but probably not the lower end AC routers.  So this will be the item to leave off as it has the biggest storage footprint.
