When looking at the udev sed in chapter 7, I found a change I had sitting in my local svn client from way back in October, that I never submitted. See the discussion starting here:
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2010-October/064343.html and more specifically, the pt_chown discussion starting here: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2010-October/064344.html When doing chapter 6 as a non-root user (package-user hint), pt_chown is being run due to the options we use to mount $LFS/dev/pts early in chapter 6. Since it's not installed setuid-root, it doesn't work. But it shouldn't be needed; if we change the default mode and group of the $LFS/dev/pts mount, it won't be used. OTOH this is a change that we'd only be making for the benefit of a hint. Opinions? I'm leaning toward not changing the book (this seems like something that the hint might want to cover), but I'd be curious what everyone else thinks.
