Normally, directories are created with permission mode 755, which isn't

-desired for all directories. I haven't checked if the FHS suggests

-default modes for certain directories, so I'll just change the modes for

-a few directories that make sense to change. The first change is a mode

-0750 for the $LFS/root directory. This is to make sure that not just
|
|
|
-everybody can enter the /root directory (the same a user would do with
|
|
|
-/home/username directories). The second change is a mode 1777 for the tmp
|
|
|
-directories. This way, any user can write stuff to the /tmp directory when
|
|
|
-needed. The sticky (1) bit makes sure users can't delete other
