For the /etc/rc file, which is generally a link to `node_data/etc.rc, to work correctly, it must be set suid to root. This is a safety feature Apollo put in, because it would be fairly easy for someone to boot some node diskless to create a new node_data tree, and then put their own etc.rc file in.
