Hi Bruce, Forgive me for wading in here. Can I suggest that the text in the book be updated to clarify what you said in your email? I made the assumption (wrongly in this case) that the phrase “but passes if run in a X terminal.” would apply even in a chroot environment as the underlying terminal is still an xterm (LFS 7.10 has a similar phrase that for a test that DOES pass in a chroot environment). I think it would be clearer if it said: “The test-getlogin test is known to fail on a virtual console (such as in this chroot environment), but passes if run in an X terminal directly.” I have a feeling this might crop up a good few times in the future otherwise.
