good morning all, this came up on the kde-solaris list over the weekend and thought that some here might be able to provide some insight into this issue.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [kde-solaris] why is Xsun removing /tmp/.ICE-unix Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2006 16:43:33 +0200 From: Willi Burmeister <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: For people using KDE on Solaris, with questions about KDE or Solaris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, we have just updated all of our SunRay servers from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10. Most of our people are using KDE as desktop and this means the need write access to /tmp/.ICE-unix. KDE creates this directory during startup, but with wrong permissions. It's only writeable by the current user. Obviously this is a problem on the SunRay server. Before the update I solved this with a small script called during startup: mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix this worked without any problems. With Solaris 10 this directory ist removed any time Xsun is restarted :-( At a start I have created a cron job running every two minutes to recreate the directory with the right permissions. This is a very silly workaround. I think this is a bug, but maybe there a any good reasons for this behaviour. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Or do I have to open a call?
