>Description:
Acrobat Reader cancel the file opening process with the errormessage:
"There was an error opening this document. A temporary file could not be opened."
I've ktraced acrobat and found where the error accours:
541 acroread NAMI "/compat/linux/tmp/Acropy1jr8"
541 acroread RET open -1 errno -13 Unknown error: -13
Per default, the "tmp" directory in /compat/linux/ is not
world-wide-writeable, so acrobat can't create a temp file
in there, if you try it as a NON-UID0 user.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just install this port /usr/ports/print/acroread5/ and try to open a PDF file as NON-UID0
>Fix:
# chmod 1777 /compat/linux/tmp/
