Dear maintainers,

since latest upgrade the coammnd "su" cannot be executed as a normal user in a
terminal in busybox. 

It is telling me, the su-bit must be set.

As "su" is linked to busybox, I can set the su-bit to busybox, but IMO this
will effect all commands linked to busybox. A security hole.

Regards

Hans
