Good morning/noon/evening my fellow LFS'rs,
I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out wih the following
problem:
I was working on my second LFS installation (6.1) (the first one (5.x)
went flawlessly) and have chosen to use the user package system. So, to
install packages, i frequently have to switch users, by using su.
Some time ago, I installed the package "shadow", and from this moment
on, my su binary refuses to work with me any longer. I have followed the
guidelines in the LFS book and the user-package-system very precise.
Whenever i try to use su (even as root), I get the error "initgroups:
Operation not permitted". I think this is very strange, since root
should normally be permitted to perform all actions, as far as I know of
(except maybe SElinux, which i don't use).
I did some research and found that initgroups is a function that reads
from the groups file. Maybe this function didn't compile as it should?
Or might this just be a permissions problem?
I cannot continue my installation like this, since i have to be able to
switch users.
You have my thanks in advance
Thomas De Reyck
