------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-23 18:29 ------- The same bug is there for mandrake-9.1rc1. If the libICE bug that creates /tmp/.ICE-unix with the wrong ownership/group cannot be removed, I suggest a workaround in /etc/rc.sysinit, where the lines: # Delete ICE locks rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix should be replaced with: # Delete ICE locks chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix rm -rf /tmp/.ICE-unix/* ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: 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.
