Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 19:37:48 -0400 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.750) X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at kivasystems.com X-Archives-Salt: 7267e100-8b4c-4e26-918d-3a077cf67520 X-Archives-Hash: 000f5f4aa7fbc823fb3c93f0d9745708 Ok, I searched around on this one and I'm stumped. When I type 'root' at the login: prompt, I get the error message: login: This applet requires root priviledges! This seems to be a common problem, except I've never seen it reported for the login command. Also, I have busybox configured NOT to use the /etc/busybox.conf [SUID] block, and I've tried with /bin/busybox both SUID/GUID, and with it set to 777 permissions. Does anyone have any idea why I can't login? This used to work fine on my Linux 2.4 build, but now that I've upgraded to 2.6, everything has gone pear-shaped. -Josh -- Joshua ChaitinPollak Software Engineer Kiva Systems -- gentoo-embedded@gentoo.org mailing list
