-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Are you, by any chance, running tmpwatch ? I have seen this kind of thing happening on other distros. tmpwatch would remove files from /tmp related to X11 autentication, so the application would start, but X11 would not allow it to open.
Thats evil. I had tmpwatch do similar things before. The solution was to train the app not to save log files (or in this case authentication credentials) to tmp. I really wonder if X11 on RHEL5 should be configured to store its credential type files elsewhere? Cheers...james P.S. The problem I had in the past was an app would open a log file, and some time later tmpwatch would delete it. The app though still had the fd open on the log and was still writting to it, such that space was being depleted in /tmp but there was no file you could see that was taking all the space. Furthermore any logrotation schemes just simply didn't work because there was no link associated with the file anymore. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
