- <para>The created groups are not part of any standard&mdash;they are groups
- decided on in part by the requirements of the Udev configuration in this
- chapter, and in part by common convention employed by a number of existing
- Linux distributions. The Linux Standard Base (LSB, available at <ulink
- url="http://www.linuxbase.org"/>) recommends only that, besides the group
- <systemitem class="groupname">root</systemitem> with a Group ID (GID) of 0,
- a group <systemitem class="groupname">bin</systemitem> with a GID of 1 be
- present. All other group names and GIDs can be chosen freely by the system
- administrator since well-written programs do not depend on GID numbers, but
- rather use the group's name.</para>
-
- <para>To remove the <quote>I have no name!</quote> prompt, start a new
- shell. Since a full Glibc was installed in <xref
- linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> and the
- <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename>
- files have been created, user name and group name resolution will now
- work.</para>
-
-<screen role="nodump"><userinput>exec /tools/bin/bash --login +h</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Note the use of the <parameter>+h</parameter> directive. This tells
- <command>bash</command> not to use its internal path hashing. Without this
- directive, <command>bash</command> would remember the paths to binaries it has
- executed. To ensure the use of the newly compiled binaries as soon as they are
- installed, the <parameter>+h</parameter> directive will be used for the duration
- of this chapter.</para>
-
- <para>The <command>login</command>, <command>agetty</command>, and
- <command>init</command> programs (and others) use a number of log
- files to record information such as who was logged into the system and
- when. However, these programs will not write to the log files if they
- do not already exist. Initialize the log files and give them
- proper permissions:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>touch /var/run/utmp /var/log/{btmp,lastlog,wtmp}
-chgrp -v utmp /var/run/utmp /var/log/lastlog
-chmod -v 664 /var/run/utmp /var/log/lastlog</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>The <filename>/var/run/utmp</filename> file records the users
- that are currently logged in. The <filename>/var/log/wtmp</filename>
- file records all logins and logouts. The
- <filename>/var/log/lastlog</filename> file records when
- each user last logged in. The <filename>/var/log/btmp</filename> file
- records the bad login attempts.</para>
