Sorry, I misunderstand your question. I have no possibilities to do any 
test in a PeeWee machine now, but I can remember some old posts about 
using the binary su instead of the busybox symbolic link to it, is in 
one of the PeeWee packages, but you will need to uncheck the busybox 
link to avoid overwriting.

HTH,

Regards,
       Cristi�n.

Pete:
       Is not secure to login as root, but, if you still want, you must 
delete the /etc/securetty file.
