The problem is that I have been unable to login via xdm/XFree as a regular user. Root is OK.
The answer/clue is in the ~/.xsession-errors file.
It's also related to a increasing number of errors I am having.
~/.xsession-errors: mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied
'man man' man: can't create a temporary filename: Permission denied
ls -l /: drwxr-xr-x root root tmp
This is the problem.
It's an extremely severe bug.
Settings that might have influenced this: Users cannot view each others $HOME directory 'man' is not setuid man
Other than this, I do not recall any events during the installation that were related to security.
Actions: How do I fix this appropriately? To which package to I submit a bug report? How do I find this package if not known?
