Afterwards, wmii couldn't use it as an unpriveleged user (nor would it, if it weren't owned by you; it should have died with a different error, though). > > -- > Kris Maglione > > >
when running wmii as root, printenv reports: WMII_ADDRESS=unix!/tmp/ns.root.:0/wmii ls on /tmp reports: drwx------ 2 ak wheel 512 May 5 18:45 ns.ak.:0/ # normal account drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 May 6 15:19 ns.root.:0/ I actually did not create anything myself. One thing to note - when I exit from the not working wmii under normal user, the 'can't mount' error message scrolls endlessley on the screen, I can't stop it... so what do I have to do now to run wmii as normal user?
