by checking /etc/busybox.conf. (This is sort of a poor man's sudo.)
The format of this file is as follows:
- <applet> = [Ssx-][Ssx-][x-] (<username>|<uid>).(<groupname>|<gid>)
+ APPLET = [Ssx-][Ssx-][x-] USER.GROUP
+
+ s: This user/group are allowed to execute APPLET.
+ APPLET will run under USER or GROUP.
+ x: User/group/others are allowed to execute APPLET.
+ No UID/GID change will be done when it is run.
+ S: This user/group are NOT allowed to execute APPLET.
+ APPLET will run under USER or GROUP.
+ -: User/group/others are not allowed to execute APPLET.
