I just fixed this. Note that the tar man file does not even mention BSD type options. The tar info page refers to "long (mnemonic) form, short form, and old style". See http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/tar/Old-Options.html > Remove the configuration file created earlier by issuing the following > command as the root user: > > rm -rfv /etc/pam.d > > This removes the pam.d directory and all the contents.

I did it both ways and both ways seemed to work. Yes the old style usually works, but one of the goals of LFS/BLFS is to teach. Here we want to teach the current methodology. > I have a lot more config files in pam.d now than I did the first time. > Everything looks right now and works but it did not look right before > but worked any way. > > FreeType2 tar xf Also fixed. > On the OpenSSH client page one can see this "Chapter 21 – > OpenSSH-5.1p1" but the link goes to chapter 19 and not 21 which is the > database chapter. Yes, we moved some things around. Fixed.
