I am running on an embedded system. I installed busybox and dropbear.
I can get root shell immediately without loging in at the console, which
is fine.
The problem comes in when I try to su once I ssh in as an ordinary user.
I get:
~ $ su
su: This applet requires root priviledges!
~ $
How can I get root priveledges after I ssh in?
I don't mind having to log in at the console if that's required.... But
I absolutely must have security at the network gates....
(These systems will be out in the open, connected via wi-fi, so I have
to have login security, otherwise every high school kid will be running
the equipment....)
