Hi,

This would be a better question for the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, since although there are Sun Ray
experts on this list what you describe seems to be a KDE behavior, and
would need to be fixed in KDE...  Or maybe somebody who knows KDE could
suggest a way to tune or configure KDE to avoid this behavior.

I can however suggest a better workaround - add the necessary code into
/usr/dt/config/Xsetup (this is invoked whenever a new X server starts up,
and runs with root permissions). That's not a fix, but it's a lighter-weight
workaround.

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.

Subject: [kde-solaris] why is Xsun removing /tmp/.ICE-unix

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?

Willi
