I started my F13 virtual machine, deleted the symlinks in /tmp and powered off. Upon reboot, I ssh'd in and found the following links created at boot time. lrwxrwxrwx. 1 gdm gdm 28 Apr 14 20:16 4bc5b2054decc -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 gdm gdm 28 Apr 14 20:16 4bc5b20aeaad6 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd I then logged in to a GNOME session and the following links were now there... lrwxrwxrwx. 1 gdm gdm 28 Apr 14 20:16 4bc5b2054decc -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 gdm gdm 28 Apr 14 20:16 4bc5b20aeaad6 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:19 4bc5b2d29ac32 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:19 4bc5b2e3bc9c6 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:19 4bc5b2ec05d3f -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:20 4bc5b2f439f27 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:20 4bc5b301486a8 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:20 4bc5b30155095 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd lrwxrwxrwx. 1 egreshko egreshko 28 Apr 14 20:20 4bc5b30158ae3 -> /etc/cups/ppd/psc_2500:1.ppd On logout 2 additional symlinks are created/owned by gdm. The first 2 are not removed. Logged in again...and now there are 18 symlinks.... So, maybe we are both right...for different reasons? -- BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI-BI- Guess Who! http://tinyurl.com/mc4xe7
