Hi,

there seems to be something broken in your build environment. Be sure that you make clean, before you start a new build after svn up. The buildsystem is not perfect and needs this cleanup otherwise you could create broken images.

The suid bit for busybox is required, but is missing in your build.

If you use jffs2 you can go intpo failsafe and set it. If you are on squashfs you need to reflash. The best is to flash the _original_ Linksys/Asus firmware and use the web update to install FreeWRT again.

Add/Change #138 (su - shows "su: This applet requires root priviledges!")
