Product: XFree86-libs
Component: XFree86-libs
Summary: /tmp/.ICE-unix/ not owned by root
Version: 4.3-0.20030204.1mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Changing the ownership to root:root does not help as after a reboot, the script
/etc/rc.sysinit
deletes this directory by this command "rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix". So when
/tmp/.ICE-unix/ is
recreated it has ownership of the non-root user. According to
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-hackers/2001-September/msg00176.html , this adds
5
secs to the startup of the desktop (KDE, GNOME) and is also a security risk. Also, the
page
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/enigma-list/2002-June/014027.html claims this to
be a bug
of libICE (which is part of XFree86-libs). Please fix this so that /tmp/.ICE-unix has
default
ownership of root:root.
