Re: Audio device permissions
If you have raw access to the physical device, you can basically do what you want to it. But I don't think it'll be likely that this is changed. All other /dev nodes are attempted to be grouped or given reduced permissions. It's the same reason we add the cdrom, video and usb groups. Having raw access to a device is a privilege. Yes, I can see how having this standard would make sense at the lowest level, as each of us can do our own management of group memberships for our builds/distros. This particular build will be a media friendly build so I will want to add newly created users by default to audio, video, etc. Devices are created with default permissions of 0660 with current udev. So, BLFS just tacks the audio group onto these devices. Any user in the audio group will have access. If you want to override this security feature, you can just change the LFS udev rules to make everything mode 0666. Or, add all your users to the root group. With Joe's help, I modified my /usr/bin/adduser script to automatically add the user to the audio group upon being created. This seems to work well. (I'm trying to give this build to a newbie for testing, and he doesn't have a clue about permissions). I don't just want to give all users root permissions, even I need protection from myself once in awhile. :) Thanks a bunch Dan and Joe! The 6.2 LFS release is working out very well, and I have run into no LFS dependency issues. I am sure I will be able to report a few BLFS bugs, but haven't needed to as of yet.

Re: Inetutils
Do you have a valid group for your user? All the bash scripts are just examples. The idea with the umask one is that if the name of -- Dan I have always wondered why the group 100 is not included in LFS when /etc/group is created. When I do configure for useradd in BLFS ch.3 it always ends up complaining that GID 100 does not exist. This isn't really a problem for a skilled administrator, because I usually just run groupadd users and it takes care of this. Since LFS itself is basically an incomplete system by design, Is this something that has come up for in a discussion? I don't mean to start a flame war between the BLFS and LFS teams :) It seems like part of a basic setup to have a users group with an ID of 100. If the LFS team does not agree, it could always be part of BLFS's configuring for adding users instructions.

Re: Internet strangeness
Hello Dave, Yes, actually there is a known issue with ADSL when using PPPoE. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of each client needs to be set to 1492. This may have been done for you in the background on your windows boxes but since the ADSL client software probably doesn't have a linux binary, this needs to be set manually. Some routers actually deal with this by translating for you, and this would be somewhere in the web or telnet interface of the router. You can use the command: ip link set eth0 mtu 1492 in your startup scripts to set this properly. If this does not work, there is something far more basic not set up correctly.
