I found that the 'groups' issues identified on the hint page have been
addressed in LFS 6.7 (stable) with the chapter's first 'sed' and
'find/sed' executions.  So the 'sed' execution lines in the hint are
redundant.

The man page language issues with permissions can be handled as your
notes indicate, as the hint indicates (except in
shadow-n.n.n/man/Makefile.am rather than man/Makefile) or by using
--disable-nls parameter on ./configure (see ABOUT-NLS in
shadow-n.n.n.man/)

Finally, the su.1 man page issue apparently has been addressed as
well, so that can be ignored.

Currently, I have an altogether different problem.  Shadow is not
installing all files, and I may have screwed things up.  Even though
install indicated success and the logs looked good, some files did not
install.  Now I have to try to undo the install and configuration.
Then figure out why conversion utilities and configuration files were
not installed.  Once I figure it out, I'll reply here.

Of course any insight the list may have is appreciated.

Thank you,
Brian
