-
- <note>
- <para>The commands in the remainder of this book must be performed while
- logged in as user <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> and no
- longer as user <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem>. Also, double
- check that <envar>$LFS</envar> is set in <systemitem
- class="username">root</systemitem>'s environment.</para>
- </note>
-
- <para>Currently, the whole directory hierarchy in <filename
- class="directory">$LFS</filename>
- is owned by the user <systemitem class="username">lfs</systemitem>, a user
- that exists only on the host system. If the directories under <filename
- class="directory">$LFS</filename> are kept as they are, the files are
- owned by a user ID without a corresponding account. This is dangerous because
- a user account created later could get this same user ID and would own all
- the files under <filename class="directory">$LFS</filename>, thus exposing
- these files to possible malicious manipulation.</para>
-
- <para>To avoid this issue, you could add the <systemitem
- class="username">lfs</systemitem> user to the new LFS system later when
- creating the <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> file, taking care to assign it
- the same user and group IDs as on the host system. Better yet, change the
- ownership of the <filename class="directory">$LFS/*</filename> directories to
- user <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> by running the following
- command:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>chown -R root:root $LFS/{usr,lib,var,etc,bin,sbin,lib64,tools}</userinput></screen>
