The problem I am having with Xnest is with permission of directories in
/tmp
# ls -ld /tmp/.X*
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 2208 Jul 12 09:07 /tmp/.X11-pipe
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 2208 Jul 12 09:07 /tmp/.X11-unix
This mean that a normal user (i.e. utcuXX) can not start Xnest as it
tries to create pipe and socket files in there directories. The
permissions on the directories are reset every time a new sunray session
starts.
Opening up those permissions would undermine Xserver security.
Instead give Xnest a '-pn' argument, which tells it that it's OK to
continue running if it is unable to establish and listen on some
transport endpoints. You wouldn't be using the local transport
endpoints in the /tmp directories anyway, the only one you'll be
using is the TCP endpoint.
