Subject: [gentoo-embedded] Busybox login requires root priviledges??

1 Ok, I searched around on this one and I'm stumped. When I type 'root'
2 at the login: prompt, I get the error message:
3
4 login: This applet requires root priviledges!

6 This seems to be a common problem, except I've never seen it reported
7 for the login command. Also, I have busybox configured NOT to use
8 the /etc/busybox.conf [SUID] block, and I've tried with /bin/busybox
9 both SUID/GUID, and with it set to 777 permissions.
10
11 Does anyone have any idea why I can't login?

13 This used to work fine on my Linux 2.4 build, but now that I've
14 upgraded to 2.6, everything has gone pear-shaped.
