Ok, I hacked the busybox source to print out the uid busybox things
it is running as when I get the "this applet requires suid" error:
if (geteuid() != 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "euid = %d, ruid = %d", geteuid(), getuid());
// bb standard error here
}
and I get:
euid = -1, ruid = -1
What makes busybox think it is running as user -1? What does that
mean when the uid functions return that?
Is this off-topic for Gentoo-Embedded, should I take this to the bb
lists?

Hum, trying to emerge 1.1.3 fails when trying to apply the busybox/

Soekris login: root

Soekris login:
Huh???

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.
