Because reboot tries to initiate reboot, but gets EPERM.

Possible approaches: * Make a new user with uid 0 and login shell=/sbin/reboot. or * Use sudo mechanism to allow some users to run /sbin/reboot or * Make busybox binary setuid root, and change reboot applet from _BB_SUID_DROP to _BB_SUID_MAYBE in this line: IF_HALT(APPLET_ODDNAME(reboot, halt, _BB_DIR_SBIN, _BB_SUID_DROP, reboot)) (warning: this will allow any user to run reboot) > 2) when user is logged in, I can't change to root, as login command > can only be run as superuser. Works for me as long as busybox binary is setuid root: $ busybox login myhost login: _ > How can I change the user? Using su command. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
