A quick thought, and I apologize if this has been discussed already but I was not able to find any previous mention of this issue.
Section 6.5 (LFS 7.2) says "Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755" - this is only true if root umask is set appropriately (022). It would be useful to highlight this fact as not all distros default to 022 for root umask. The issues caused by a more restrictive umask are only evident in some of the package tests that occur much later in the install. E.g., coreutils (http://osdir.com/ml/bug-coreutils-gnu/2011-03/msg00074.html) Very much appreciate all the good work of the project. Thank you. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
