Hi everybody,
We have Cygwin 1.3.22-1 installed on a Windows XP sp1 machine with
XFree86 4.3.0-1. The computer is part of a domain and can be use by
several users.
The installation on Cygwin/XFree86 has been done as follow :
1- As Administrator, we have installed Cygwin/XFree86 on a local D:\
drive (so not at the standard folder).
2- We have edited the file usr\X11R6\bin\starxwin.bat to set correctly
the variable CYGWIN_ROOT.
When we run Cygwin/XFree86, everything is correct for everybody.
Unfortunately, when a user close his session without exiting
Cygwin/XFree86, the file tmp\.X11-unix\X0 is not deleted. When an other
user try to open Cygwin/XFree86, the application doesn't start since the
file tmp\.X11-unix\X0 is present and the user is not able to delete it.
As administrator I must then delete the file.
I have try to modify the permissions on folder tmp and tmp\.X11-unix to
allow users to delete the XO file but I doesn't work.
So my questions are :
1- Is the above situation normal?
2- If not, what should I forget to do during the installation and
configuration?
3- If yes, is it possible to allow users to delete XO file?
Thanks in advance for suggestions and answers.
Boris
