# Changing the Ownership of the CLFS System

Throughout the book, every package has been compiled and installed as the `clfs` user. The final system should be owned by `root`.

The commands on this page of the book must be performed while logged in as `root`. Check that ${CLFS} is still set:

    echo ${CLFS}

Make `root` the owner of the entire CLFS system:

    chown -Rv root:root ${CLFS}/targetfs

The following file should not to belong to the `root` group, it should belong to the `utmp` group (group 13):

    chgrp -v 13 ${CLFS}/targetfs/var/log/lastlog
