Hey,

	I had this problem on a number of different occasions, and it 
turned out to be the permissions on /tmp.  So, I rebooted, started
runlevel
1, cleared out /tmp (cd /tmp; rm -r *; ) then cd'd to /, and did a chmod
1777 /tmp.
All was well after this.  (if i remember right it was linuxconf that
changed the rights
on there, so I have not used it since, and have not had the problem
since.) running
RH72.  Hope this helps!

- the rights on /tmp should read: 
	drwxrwxrwt   13 root     root         8192 Jul 15 19:15 tmp

	S.

-
