Then, as myself, doing: ll /run/user/1000/ total 0 drwx------. 2 tim tim 60 May 2 21:29 dconf dr-x------. 2 tim tim 0 May 2 16:25 gvfs drwx------. 2 tim tim 100 May 2 16:25 keyring drwx------. 2 tim tim 80 May 2 16:25 pulse I thought root couldn't be stopped from viewing user's files.
Several things reduce root's omnipotence, notably a network real or virtual. You may be root on your computer, but that is no reason to give you unfettered access to my computer. gvfs is typically used to automatically mount some remote file systems. For example, plug your phone into a USB port and its file system may mount as a gvfs. Root is no longer special. jl -- Jon H.
