Re: [Cooker] File size limit exceeded?

[Pete]

I am having the exact same problem with a fresh install, I chose medium security. su does work in the console vt's but not within any X terminals or applications and the unix\:0 file appears very large. I have tried, Eterm, gnome term, rxvt, xterm, and a couple others I can't think of right now. It also fails to change to root for the KDE control center.
However, I have an install on another machine, that I have been updating with urpmi --auto-select, and it does not exhibit the behavior even though all the rpms should be at the same level. I find this rather strange. Can't figure out what would be different.

I just did a fresh install from my "updated at the moment"
cooker mirror, and had the same error message after I
booted the new install. The system also does not allow me to
login as root if I exit from the user login. Being unable to
login as root, or to use su, it makes it kind of difficult
to setup sudo. I had chosen LOW security with my expert
install.

From a vt you can stil su to root. At least!
 i can.
Do you have the same problem as i have that the file
.xauth/refcount/root/Your_Machine_Name/unix\:0 claims to be to very big

wow ... my filesize is 40960000 ... kinda big isn't it!
