I don't know if the two are related, but I suspect that they are. Anyway,
I just built my new gentoo system, deciding to give the LVM method a try
for a bit of flexibility with my file system. Everything went swimmingly,
with the exeption of a weird hd crash that is best forgotten, but when I
went to run mc, I got an error that it could not create the temporary
directory /tmp/mc-ian: Permission denied (13). /tmp is on a separate vg
partition from the /home directory. This is something that I do not recall
happening when all of my root filesystem was in one big partition. /tmp is
mounted rw, and root can create temporary directories. Is there something
that I have to do with respect to fstab or chmod on /tmp that will allow
users to write to the directory?

Now, I am not sure that this is the same problem, but it would not
surprise me. I installed sylpheed-claws, but when I run it from a term, I
get:

ssl_init: warning, can't open /etc/ssl/cert.pem
ssl_init: it means that certificates' signatures won't appear as Correct,
ssl_init: even if they should. Check your openssl install.
bind: Permission denied

Now, I am less concerned about the ssl warnings, as I have not even gotten
around to attempting to set up ssl on this install, but the
bind:permission denied stops sylpheed from launching which is most
annoying. Is sylpheed attempting to create a temporary file in /tmp which
is also being denied, or is this something completely different?

Also, if anyone knows of any docs that would aid me in setting up openssl
properly, I would appreciate it.
