Comment(by matt...@…):
chroot isn't mentioned explicitly (from what I could see anyway) in either
the FHS or The Open Group Base Specifications Issue 7 (IEEE Std
1003.1-2008). So, I guess it comes down to
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRSHAREMANMANUALPAGES which
says that section 1 is for "User programs" and section 8 is for "System
administration". Given that only root can run chroot (unless a user's
shell process has been given CAP_SYS_CHROOT privs), I'd be in agreement
that this should be in section 8. Note that Debian & Ubuntu also happen
to place the chroot man page in section 8. This is from the debian/rules
hunk of their patch at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/coreutils/coreutils_8.5-1ubuntu3.diff.gz:
{{{
+ # gnu thinks chroot is in bin, debian thinks it's in sbin
+ install -d $(d)/usr/sbin $(d)/usr/share/man/man8
+ mv $(d)/usr/bin/chroot $(d)/usr/sbin/chroot
+ sed s/\"1\"/\"8\"/1 $(d)/usr/share/man/man1/chroot.1 >
$(d)/usr/share/man/man8/chroot.8
+ rm $(d)/usr/share/man/man1/chroot.1
}}}
The only other file that refers to this in an LFS + partial BLFS build is
pivot_root(8). I'll see if I can throw a patch at bug-coreutils and see
if it sticks!
