I am trying to execute the steps outlined in

I am logged in as lfs.

The commands

   mknod -m 600 $LFS/dev/console c 5 1
   mknod -m 666 $LFS/dev/null c 1 3

print "Operation not permitted"

When I change to root (and set the LFS variable), these
mknod commands execute without problem.

I am assuming that from 5.36 I should be root anyway, but this
is what it is: an assumption.

Yes, you should be. You will enter the chroot environment anytime soon now and first will have no other usable user there anyway.

You might add a user after installing the shadow package in 6.25 and then use that, but then would have to be very careful to execute any installation command as root, eg.

su -c 'make install'

instead of

make install


For your first build, I'd strongly suggest not to try this out.



Kind regards

Tim
