+    <para>Currently, the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>
+    and <filename class="directory">/cross-tools</filename> directories
+    are owned by the user <emphasis>lfs</emphasis>, a user that
+    exists only on the host system. Although the <filename
+    class="directory">/tools</filename> and <filename
+    class="directory">/cross-tools</filename> directories can be deleted
+    once the LFS system has been finished, they can be retained to build
+    additional LFS systems. If the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>
+    and <filename class="directory">/cross-tools</filename> directories are
+    kept as is, the files are owned by a user ID without a corresponding
+    account. This is dangerous because a user account created later could
+    get this same user ID and would own the <filename
+    lass="directory">/tools</filename> directory and all the files therein,
+    thus exposing these files to possible malicious manipulation.</para>
