I do have a users group on my host system. But how does that affect the lfs partition? At this stage, we are in a chroot jail, using freshly-built software. Doesn't that mean complete independence from the host except for the running kernel and its virtual file systems? There would have been no previous need for a "users" group or a "daemon" user on LFS because acl was not included in the basic system and therefore there were no acl tests to be run. That must still be the case for LFS with sysVinit. But acl is apparently required for systemd, so I think it would make sense for section 6.6 to be different in the systemd edition of the book.
