Guys, after rewriting most of my build scripts to use an unprivileged user
over the past few weeks, I noticed something that I think would benefit
users of the book. Most commands that are not in a typical user's path do
not explicitly say so. This creates a problem for users who actually take
the advice to build as an unprivileged user by employing sudo. Some are
obvious, like useradd and groupadd, while others from less familiar
packages are not. I say this as I'm using the SWAG method about
mysql_install_db right now, I'm kinda guessing that it'll be in /usr/sbin,
but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm not exactly proposing this for BLFS-6.6,
however, it would be good in the future to provide the full path for items
in {,/usr}/sbin as these are likely not in the build user's path.
Comments?
