# 7.20. Changing Ownership

Currently, the `$CLFS` directory and all of its subdirectories are owned by the user `clfs`, a user that exists only on the host system. For security reasons, the $CLFS root directory and all of it subdirectories should be owned by `root`. Change the ownership for $CLFS and its subdirectories by running this command:

    chown -Rv root:root ${CLFS}
