Package: wdm
Version: 1.27-2.2
Severity: important
When wdm creates the authority-files for the X server, it uses mkstemp
to create the files, but ignores the handed-back filedescriptor from
mkstemp. These fds are also inherited by the X servers spawned by wdm.
This leads to wdm using more than 200 fds in a few days on our
sunray-servers. The following patch fixes the problem:
