It's been three years since I've done any of this, and the whole thing involves a lot of "memory refreshment." In fact, in the last build I did, coreutils supplied su. So....
As far as using 'root' in pgkusers, there are two things: 1. ldcong 2. the commands in Ch. 6 that must be run as root. This all goes away after the shadow install and currently package user's scripts have one that works around needing to be root to use ldconfig. I've not tried it yet. AND, I never considered sudo until Ken mentioned it earlier. It's going to be a day or two until I get to CH. 6, but I'll see what the "easiest" approach will be. This AM, I used the copying method you suggested, but su needed a password and "crypt" killed the process. Probably because I'm still using the host system. Maybe things will be different after CHROOT. We'll see. Thanks again.
