Hi I wonder what are the correct permissions for the /var and /var/tmp directories? I have the following at present: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 8 10 jan 16:41 /var -> /usr/var drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 512 10 jan 16:28 var drwxrwxrwt 3 bin bin 512 10 jan 22:12 tmp Background for this: ------------------- I had to change the permission for /var/tmp from (drwxr-xr-t) to (drwxrwxrwt) in order to get my keyboard working properly while using XFree86333 for regular users. XFree86 gave me the following error message: The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: >Error: Cannot open "/var/tmp/server-0.xkm to write keyboard description > Exiting Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap. The root user does not get this message when starting X. I am running a fresh 2.2.8-RELEASE with XFree86 version 3.3.3. Any help appreciated.
