This is most likely only a warning, and not an error. Xwin does the same
about /tmp/.X11-unix for example.
If you want to get rid of it you need a user root with uid 0 in
/etc/passwd and then change the owner of .font-unix to root.

But i doubt that this is the reason for xfs not starting. Btw only few
applications require a font server these days.

Can't start XFS

[Dell'Anna Michele \(TERNA\)]

I've an X application working on a PC with Windows 2000 and Cygwin
installed.
I connect via ssh to this machine from come clients with ssh and Xming.
I'd like to use Cygwin server also as a Font Server.
I added the fonts path to /etc/X11/fs/config but when I try to start xfs
service I receive
the following message:
"FontTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.font-unix should be set to root"
I searched in mailing list but I didn't find nothing usefull.

Anybody could help me?

Thank you a lot!
