| 38 | Normally directories are created with permission mode 755, which isn't
|
|---|
| 39 | desired for all directories. I haven't checked the FHS if they suggest
|
|---|
| 40 | default modes for certain directories, so I'll just change the modes for
|
|---|
| 41 | a few directories that make sense to change. The first change is a mode
|
|---|
| 42 | 0750 for the $LFS/root directory. This is to make sure that not just
|
|---|
| 43 | everybody can enter the /root directory (the same you would do with
|
|---|
| 44 | /home/username directories). The second change is a mode 1777 for the tmp
|
|---|
| 45 | directories. This way every user can write stuff to the /tmp directory if
|
|---|
| 46 | they need to. The sticky (1) bit makes sure users can't delete other
|
|---|
| 47 | user's file which they normally can do because the directory is set in
|
|---|
| 48 | such a way that every body (owner, group, world) can write to that directory.

| 60 | Now that the directories are created, copy the source files you have
|
|---|
| 61 | downloaded in chapter 3 to some subdirectory under $LFS/usr/src (you will
|
|---|
| 62 | need to create this subdirectory yourself).
