+<para>If you are logged in as <emphasis>root</emphasis> during Chapter 5,
+your host system can be damaged by a single mistake. We recommend that
+you build the packages in Chapter 5 as an unprivileged user. You could use
+your own user name, but to ensure a clean build environment, we'll create a
+new user: <emphasis>lfs</emphasis>. As <emphasis>root</emphasis>, issue
+the following commands to add the new user:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>useradd -s /bin/bash -m lfs
+passwd lfs</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>In order to grant the user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis> the proper permissions
+to the <filename>$LFS/static</filename> directory, issue the following
+command:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>chown -R lfs $LFS/static</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>Next, login as user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis>. This can be accomplished
+via a virtual console, display manager or with the substitute user
+command:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>su - lfs</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>The "<userinput>-</userinput>" instructs <userinput>su</userinput> to
+start a new, clean shell.</para>
