Minicom with BusyBox

[Brent Baude]

I've been trying to build a small embedded OS that includes minicom for 
serial console operations (yeah, client on the device as well).  When I 
try and run minicom (as root) on the client, I get "You don't exist. Go 
away." everytime.  I have tried with minicom 2 and 2.1, as well as 
different vesions of busybox.  I suspect that when I ran configure it's 
assuming extra function not available on the embedded OS.  Is there a 
configure or make option I am missing or some sort of missing function? 
  Whoami and id return proper uid numbers and names.

Any nudges or leads would be most appreciated.  Thanks in advance for 
due consideration.
