Yes, this is done. However, I'd like to pass a couple of things by you. 1. I'm moving the installation of the wordlist to the root installation steps *after* the build steps. This way there's only a one-time root installation instead of twice. 2. I'd like to use the cracklib-words target in the create-cracklib-dict routine instead of your suggestion in the bug to use the words symlink instead. It could be that some users may already have a /usr/share/dict/words target, so we should use the cracklib-words list instead. 3. I have a new line in the "command explanations" section about the 'words' symlink. It mentions the previous text about the historical use of 'words', and additionally it now mentions that it is optional. 4. extra.words explanation text is now also in the 'command explanations' section. 5. I'd like to change extra.words to cracklib-extra-words. That way we would now have cracklib-words and cracklib-extra-words in /usr/share/dict. 6. After the root installation, I think putting in an instruction to run 'make test' by the unprivileged user would be appropriate. Once I hear from you that you agree, or provide better suggestions to the above, I'll commit the update to 2.8.3 -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 12:02:00 up 113 days, 11:35, 2 users, load average: 0.18, 0.09, 0.03 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
