Yes, I thought someone might say as much. And I can see your point. Still, the cat and sed - in fact the entire addition of another user - seems unnecessary. After re-reading the thread Manuel linked to where Robert suggests using the now-present nobody user, I think that's the way to go. And the addition of 'su' to /tools/bin in chapter 5 (as was suggested in ticket #1877) is unnecessary now because coreutils is installed before bash in chapter 6. What I think I'm going to do - unless someone has on objection - is add the commands 'su nobody -s /bin/bash -c "..."' to both bash and coreutils in chapter 6. Will just do a quick test run here first before I commit. -- JH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
