oh
it seems that it won't be easy to go on with lfs 4
my first problem appeared while creating the user named lfs
here it is what i get when i type the adding command
[root@localhost /]# useradd -s /bin/bash -m lfs && passwd lfs
vipw lockfile (/etc/ptmp) is present!
[root@localhost /]#
the /etc/ptmp file :
