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 ?
