[kde-solaris] Solaris 9 64 bit startup problem -- one other thing

[Stefan Teleman]

One other thing: 

Could you please check the permissions on the following three 
directories:

/tmp/.ICE-unix
/tmp/.X11-unix
/tmp/.X11-pipe

They should be 0777 with the sticky bit set.

Here's my little kchmod C program which does just that at kde startup 
-- you can compile it, install it in ${KDE}/bin with permissions 4755 
owned by root, and then add it somewhere at the beginning of startkde 
before anything kde-related starts happening:

----- SNIP

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

extern int errno;

int
main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
    const char* unixPath = "/tmp/.X11-unix";
    const char* pipePath = "/tmp/.X11-pipe";
    const char* icePath = "/tmp/.ICE-unix";
    mode_t mode = 0;
    uid_t uid = 0;

    mode |= S_IRWXU;
    mode |= S_IRWXG;
    mode |= S_IRWXO;
    mode |= S_ISVTX;

    if (setuid (uid) != 0)
    {
        perror ("setuid"), strerror (errno);
        return (-1);
    }

    if (chmod (unixPath, mode) != 0)
        perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);

    if (chmod (pipePath, mode) != 0)
        perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);

    if (chmod (icePath, mode) != 0)
        perror ("chmod"), strerror (errno);
    return (0);
}
