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. - "B.
