In Chapter 5.17 of the book, Coreutils-8.5, the last paragraph and the last command deal with this. There are a number of solutions. The one I used was to make 'su' setuid root. Therefore, this situation is a permissions one and one that has evolved with LFS leaving the hint a mite outdated in this regard.

Re: Help Needed with 6.12 Binutils + Package Users
I read a thread on linux questions that recommended 'chmod a+rw /dev/pts/0'. Does that sound like a reasonable work around? Did not appear to work. I wonder why this is not mentioned in the hint, or did I miss it? Thanks. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
