Noticed this in r11999 chapter07/creatingdirs.xml
...
mkdir -pv /usr/{,local/}share/man/man{1..8}
install -dv -m 1777 /tmp /var/tmp
install -dv -m 0750 /root
mkdir -v /var/{log,mail,spool}
ln -sv /run /var/run
ln -sv /run/lock /var/lock
mkdir -pv /var/{opt,cache,lib/{color,misc,locate},local}</userinput></screen>
<para>Directories are, by default, created with permission mode 755, but
this is not desirable for all directories. In the commands above, two
changes are made—one to the home directory of user <systemitem
class="username">root</systemitem>, and another to the directories for
temporary files.</para>
<para>The first mode change ensures that not just anybody can enter
the <filename class="directory">/root</filename> directory—the
same as a normal user would do with his or her home directory. The
second mode change makes sure that any user can write to the
<filename class="directory">/tmp</filename> and <filename
class="directory">/var/tmp</filename> directories, but cannot remove
another user's files from them.
but note that in the commands,the FIRST mode change is actually
the /tmp /var/tmp one and the SECOND one is for /root.
I'd suggest swapping around the commands, rather that editing the text,
but also note that the commands were in the order matching the text in
LFS 9.1 ?
