well, docs (at http://openwall.com/Owl/BUILD.shtml) and your
instructions suggest to use 'build' user, but my freshly owl openvz
install (from owl-current-20100323-x86_64.tar.gz template) have
sources:sources as owner for /usr/src (and below), so 'build' username
can't create any files in it's $HOME directory. And even giving a group
access as 'chmod g+w /usr/src/world' would not help (make will complain
of not ownership of a current directory). So I'm rebuilding as 'sources'
username now... Do we need to change docs so they will tell to use
'sources' username instead of 'build' now?

Thanks.
