While we are on this subject, it should be clarified that while the kernel can be built with a non-root account which is a member of the
wsrc group, building the userland
still needs to be done as
root.
An obvious consequence of building the kernel with a
wsrc group account is that the log in message can be customized merely by building with an account which is a member of
wsrc.
ie.
Code:
OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008
joebob@hayseed.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
In this case, the
joebob account can be used to build the kernel
only if
joebob is a member of the
wsrc group, & as a result,
joebob now shows up in the default log in message.
FWIW.
