Hi All,

I am using the busybox in my root file system, everything is fine with 
that, except when I try to login as a root from serial console it 
doesn't prompt me for the password and immediately say "Login 
Incorrect".  I need to login as a root from  serial console, so can 
anyone tell me how I can make it happen. I have a /etc/securetty file 
present and I have added the entry for ttyS0 in that. I think login 
utility of busybox doesn't read the securetty file.

Thanks
Rajeev Bansal.
