Hi there,

have FreeWRT 1.0(revision 1937) running on a WL500p. To implement and 
configure all the desired features (like SMB, NFS, p9100, SVN,...) took me 
while but everything worked like a charm. 

However, one day I needed to change some WLAN-settings.
When I tried to become root (su -) the command failed with
"su: This applet requires root priviledges!"

Obviously the message should be expected as there is no SUID bit 
for /bin/busybox ANYMORE!! (it must have been); and -even worse- the program 
belongs to nobody.nogroup now.

How can this happen? Was my Flash memory corrupted?
SMB shares as nobody.nogroup, can there be a link (shouldn't, I know!)?
And how can I cure the file? 
Is someone out there who had a similar problem?

I assume I will have to use Failsafe-Mode and flash a new image?
Or is there a smarter way to repair my system?

Just to repeat:
ls -l /bin/busybox
-rwxr-xr-x    1 nobody   nogroup    818584 Mar 27 00:02 /bin/busybox
ls -l /rom/bin/busybox
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root       818584 Feb 16 14:21 busybox
ls -l /rom/jffs/bin/busybox
-rwxr-xr-x    1 nobody   nogroup    818584 Mar 27 00:02 /rom/jffs/bin/busybox

Any comments are gladly appreciated!

Cheers,
Volker
