Currently there is no documentation for this feature, but I'm working on it

Create a /etc/busybox.conf containing something like this:

--->8-------------------------------------8<---
[SUID]
su = ssx root.root
--->8-------------------------------------8<---

and compile BB with support for SUID handling with config file.

PS: /etc/busybox.conf has to be chown root.root; chmod 600
