    Try this:

    touch /tmp/a

    If you get a "permission denied", then do this:

    ls -ld /tmp

    The /tmp/.X11-unix/ directory should be automagically created by the X
    server. That it isn't is troubling. My suspicion is that /tmp is
    fubar'd in some way. The output from ls -ld should be this:

    drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 2004-02-23 15:03 /tmp

I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow
isn't looking good, either.
I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.
