If this is your own personal machine, it probably wouldn't hurt. As root: mkdir /run/user/111 chmod 700 /run/user/111 chown user.group /run/user/111 As for your other question, /run/user/0 was probably created by a program running as root for root. If there's a better way to do what you want, or if what I propose isn't a good idea, someone else will probably chime in.
