Re: X11R6 NetBSD Security Problem

Well, when theres a reboot, /tmp/ is cleared. And If you havent started X
yet, it could be a problem. This isnt and ultra spiffy important problem,
just thought I would bring it up.



drwxrwxrwt   2 root     root         1024 Mar 25 10:52 .X11-unix/

I'd like to see a non-root user delete that from /tmp. Many systems have this
in place like this, since root is the first to log into X. Systems that do not
have this directory owned by root should chown it.
