missing quoting in chroot command
|
Description |
Reported by Seth W. Klein:
In the chroot command in
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/cvs/chapter06/chroot.html
several environment variable references are unquoted. This leads to
misleading error messages such as:
chroot: cannot change root directory to /tools/bin/env: Not a directory
when $LFS is not set. It is also broken if $LFS contains spaces. The
correct form is:
chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
/tools/bin/bash +h
Other chroot commands probably have similar bugs.

FHS Compliance Note
|
Description |
Reported by DJ Lucas:
Need to add /media and /srv to 'FHS compliance note' or (prefered) to
creating directories command.
Quote from 2.3:
3.11. /media : Mount point for removeable media
3.11.1. Purpose
This directory contains subdirectories which are used as mount points
for removeable media such as floppy disks, cdroms and zip disks.
Historically there have been a number of other different places used
to mount removeable media such as /cdrom, /mnt or /mnt/cdrom. Placing
the mount points for all removeable media directly in the root directory
would potentially result in a large number of extra directories in /.
Although the use of subdirectories in /mnt as a mount point has recently
been common, it conflicts with a much older tradition of using /mnt
directly as a temporary mount point.
3.11.2. Specific Options
The following directories, or symbolic links to directories, must be
in /media, if the corresponding subsystem is installed:
Directory Description
floppy Floppy drive (optional)
cdrom CD-ROM drive (optional)
cdrecorder CD writer (optional)
zip Zip drive (optional)
On systems where more than one device exists for mounting a certain
type of media, mount directories can be created by appending a digit
to the name of those available above starting with ?0?, but the
unqualified name must also exist.
3.12. /mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted
filesystem
3.12.1. Purpose
This directory is provided so that the system administrator may
temporarily mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this
directory is a local issue and should not affect the manner in which
any program is run. This directory must not be used by installation
programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system
must be used instead.
<Snip>
3.16. /srv : Data for services provided by this system
3.16.1. Purpose
/srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system.
Rationale
This main purpose of specifying this is so that users may find the
location of the data files for particular service, and so that services
which require a single tree for readonly data, writable data and scripts
(such as cgi scripts) can be reasonably placed. Data that is only of
interest to a specific user should go in that users? home directory.
The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as
there is currently no consensus on how this should be done. One method
for structuring data under /srv is by protocol, eg. ftp, rsync, www,
and cvs. On large systems it can be useful to structure /srv by
administrative context, such as /srv/physics/www, /srv/compsci/cvs, etc.
This setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program
should rely on a specific subdirectory structure of /srv existing
or data necessarily being stored in /srv. However /srv should always
exist on FHS compliant systems and should be used as the default
location for such data.
Distributions must take care not to remove locally placed files in these
directories without administrator permission.

Suggestion: move Shadow's passwd into /bin
|
Description |
Reported by DJ Lucas:
I'd like to make a suggestion to move passwd into /bin. While this is not
required or prohibited by any standard, it can be useful in single user
mode when /usr is not availible. Only changes required to the book are
that we remove the 'touch /usr/bin/passwd' in shadow install, and add
'mv /usr/bin/passwd /bin' after install. Shadow's shared libs are
already installed into /lib.
