I figured it out. The culprit is screen, which seems to do it's own permissions handling on ptys, and the fact that when I built it, I was in the chroot on a Fedora system, where tty is group 5. It looks like you can work around this with --with-pty-group=tty. Don't know if that's a candidate for the BLFS book or not. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
