Silencing the warnings in many packages doesn't have to be left to
maintainers, and often isn't very complicated. I've had to learn to figure
this out for myself, and I'm writting this to hopefully help others learn
this faster, smoother, and with less aggravation (I'll add something like

The chapter 5 util-linux page still isn't using '-v' for the cp command.

Is it practical to add a --selftest option which checks known values, to make

I'd like to start making 'audit notes' for each program and script installed,
highlighting security concerns. A man page audit would be nice too. I'm
wondering if a wiki page for each program is a good idea like what blfs does,
or if it should be maintained in the book, or a bit of each. Wiki
I'm lucky to have a job that allows me to daydream. I was thinking today, and
so here is the resulting rant :-)
I think it would be a good idea to install autoconf, automake, libtool, and
probably autogen too, in chapter 5 /tools, to allow us to autoreconf
everything in chapter 6 chroot.
I don't know how many of you feel comfortable with an suid-root program being
group writtable. I suggest we add:
sed 's/4775/4755/' -i ping/Makefile.in
to the LFS book.

All I'm trying to say is that adding someone to group root should not be
exploitable, at least not without further misconfiguration.

Hi. I have a couple patches ported from the Owl blowfish patches:

With -fPIC in the gcc specs the --with-pic option makes no difference on i386,
but it does make a difference on m68k, ppc, and sparc. The gcc specs in
hlfs-unstable allow -fpic to override -fPIC. The --with-pic options would
allow the package developers to choose which flag is appropriate. A
