+Normally, directories are created with permission mode 755, which isn't
+desired for all directories. I haven't checked if the FHS suggests
default modes for certain directories, so I'll just change the modes for
a few directories that make sense to change. The first change is a mode
0750 for the $LFS/root directory. This is to make sure that not just
everybody can enter the /root directory (the same a user would do with
/home/username directories). The second change is a mode 1777 for the tmp
-directories. This way every user can write stuff to the /tmp directory if
