I have never built sudo and plan never to do so.  I'm the only one that uses my 
computers, so who am I protecting it from?  I use root.  One must be just as 
careful when using sudo anyway.  Have I screwed up?  Once or twice since I 
built my first LFS in 2004, but that's what backups are for.


Your distro, your rules.

[lfs-support] Kernel Config, SSD

Does anything special need to be done with the kernel for optimal use
of solid state drives?
I recall something about turning on something called trimming, but
I don't remember much more than that.

[lfs-support] Partial explanation for a test fail in sudo

[Hazel Russman]

For the last three BLFS versions, I have noticed a single failure in the check 
tests for sudo. The test that fails is testsudoers/test3.

I have now discovered that this failure only occurs if the tests are carried 
out by root in chroot. For an unprivileged user, all tests pass.

Because of the usefulness of sudo in installing packages, it often gets built 
as an appendix to LFS using the chroot environment. If you do this, you can 
expect the failure.
