   Betreff: [X2Go-User] RHEL6 package should create /tmp/.X11-unix directory
        An: X2Go-User@lists.berlios.de

Hi all,

After much hunting I found what the problem was runnung x2goserver on  
a freshly installed server.

Apparently X2Go requires the /tmp/.X11-unix directory to exist with  
permissions 1777.

Could you please see to it the creation of this directory and the  
permissions settings are performed by teh x2goserver package.

Thanks,

Burnce

I would add that on systems running vncserver, /tmp/.X11-unix may exist 
but owned by another user.  It would be good if x2goserver fixed 
ownership in this case.

What ownership would expect? root:root?

At least in debian, this directory is created by the init script of
the x11-common package. Maybe x2goserver should explicitly depend on
that package.

I'm not sure what the equivalent package is in RedHat/Fedora, but it
clearly seems to be a packaging issue to me.

On Fedora it is created via systemd's tmpfiles mechanism, and in fact provided 
by the systemd package so it will be on all machines.

I'm using it on a RHEL6 server with no native/local X server.  The X server 
itself will create the directory if it doesn't exist, but will abort if it 
already exists but with the wrong owner or permissions.

Are you absolutely sure that the X server binary creates this itself?
Or is that some startup script shipped as part of the X server
package?

While many scripts are there to create it (and make sure it has the proper 
permissions, SELinux labels, etc), running the X server directly will create 
the directory as well.

retitle #93 x2gocleansessions should create /tmp/.X11-unix directory
reassign #93 x2goserver
thanks

A fix for this issue needs root priviledges, so we have to put the fix  
into x2gocleansessions of x2goserver.
