I am using busybox for an embedded system.  I have an issue I have never
seen before and was hoping someone might be able to shine a little light on
it.  I am using and initramfs with /init as a simlink to /bin/busybox, my
/etc/inittab looks like this:
# /etc/inittab
#
# Copyright (C) 2001 Erik Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
#
# Note: BusyBox init doesn't support runlevels.  The runlevels field is
# completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want runlevels, use
# sysvinit.
#
# Format for each entry: <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
#
# id        == tty to run on, or empty for /dev/console
# runlevels == ignored
# action    == one of sysinit, respawn, askfirst, wait, and once
# process   == program to run

# Startup the system
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
null::sysinit:/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
null::sysinit:/sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up
null::sysinit:/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

# now run any rc scripts
null::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

# Set up a couple of getty's
tty1::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

# Put a getty on the serial port
ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
ttyS1::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt100

# Logging junk
null::sysinit:/bin/touch /var/log/messages
null::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -n -m 0 -s 800 -b 3 -L
null::respawn:/sbin/klogd -n
tty3::respawn:/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages

# FTP is here because we want it to restart if it ever crashes
# null::respawn:/usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

# Stuff to do for the 3-finger salute
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot

# Stuff to do before rebooting
null::shutdown:/etc/init.d/rcK
null::shutdown:/usr/bin/killall klogd
null::shutdown:/usr/bin/killall syslogd
null::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
null::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a

When the system comes up everything looks normal.  I have an login: prompt
on the screen.  When I try to login I get the message:
login: This applet requires root priviledges!

On tty3 I see that it is logged that the getty exits and restarts.

Anyone seen something similar?
