enable loadkeys for normal users

[thomas]

loadkeys (of package 'kbd') is installed with perms of 0755. The operation loadkeys does, requires root permission. As a consequence, an ordinary user cannot set keyboard layout in terminal without having sudo/su permissions.

Changing the perms of loadkeys to 4755 would make loadkeys available for all users, but setting the setuid bit is sometimes considered as a security risk. Do we follow that one or can we change kbd from

make install

to

make install
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/loadkeys

in order to enable individual users to select their kbd layout?

I've not accessed the security issue now, but style issue: no && in LFS.
