Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 25 Jun 1998 21:56:47 +0200 From: Paul van der Zwan Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there a reason 'make buildworld' needs to be done as root ?? If I run it as a normal user it fails pretty quickly when it installs make : install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 make /usr/obj/usr/source/src/tmp/usr/bin install: /usr/obj/usr/source/src/tmp/usr/bin/make: chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted *** Error code 71 Shouldn't it be possible to builworld as a non-priviliged user and only make installworld as root ???
