The first thing we'll do, now that we're root, is change the ownership of the files and directories installed in Chapter 5 to root -- because when later we don't delete the /static directory and start adding new users, one of these users might end up owning the statically linked programs, which is not a good idea. Run the following command to make root the owner of all the statically linked programs: chown -R 0:0 /static The command uses "0:0" instead of "root:root", because there is no way to resolve the name "root", as glibc hasn't been installed yet.
