I haven't checked the FHS if they suggest +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 you 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 +they need to. The sticky (1) bit makes sure users can't delete other +user's file which they normally can do because the directory is set in +such a way that every body (owner, group, world) can write to that directory. +</para> + +<blockquote><literallayout> + + <userinput>cd $LFS &&</userinput> + <userinput>chmod 0750 root &&</userinput> + <userinput>chmod 1777 tmp usr/tmp var/tmp</userinput> + +</literallayout></blockquote> + +<para> +Now that the directories are created, copy the source files you have +downloaded in chapter 3 to some subdirectory under $LFS/usr/src (you will +need to create this subdirectory yourself). +</para> + +</sect1> + |
