Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Clone the OE git, and rebuild the beagleboard-demo-image using bitbake
2. Log in under X11 as a non-privileged user (e.g. username demo).
3. Open a terminal window and type $su
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should then give you a # prompt with privileges.
Instead, you get the message: su: Must be suid to work properly.
Thanks very much.
Best regards,
Geof

Research direction
Start by rebuilding beagleboard-demo-image from the OE git with bitbake, then reproduce the non-privileged X11 login and run su in a terminal. No source file or test is named; done means the generated image allows su to obtain a privileged prompt without the “Must be suid” error.
