I added a bit more this weekend. The suid-root stuff has been replaced by linux caps. write(1) and wall(1) remain setgid tty.
I added Glibc and Binutils patches for PaX, and added --enable-bind-now -- enable-stackguard-randomization. Added strlcat/strlcpy patch to Glibc. Perl and Libtool use it, if I remember correctly. Added XZ-utils and Strace to chapter 6. Strace only comes in tar.xz. Next is Iptables. I played around with getting agetty to run as non-root, until it tried to start /bin/login as a regular user. login is hard coded not to run as a regular user, so it'll need to be patched. Agetty didn't need capabilities, only file system permissions. This is what strace is for. I heard about stability problems before. I'm building HLFS from HLFS, and nothing bad is happening, so it looks good. Glibc test suite passes perfectly. robert
