Besides the other error msg, there is also this one at login
on the console by root:
dbus[62587]: Unable to set up transient service directory:
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR "/var/run/user/0" can be written by others (mode 041770)
dbus[62587]: Unable to set up transient service directory:
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR "/var/run/user/0" can be written by others (mode 041770)
Looks like only root has access:
drwxrwx--T 2 root root 6 Aug 26 2016 /var/run/user/0/
Admittedly there are work-arounds, but should it be necessary
to have 'gid2uid' auto-promote those with the file's gid to
the uid by the same number to get around programs that break
gid security? Note, I setup my 'id' to use the same number
for uid and gid -- allows a much more flexible access policy
than uid-alone.
This is much worse than the other one, which can be worked
around. This one is at login, so hard to work around.
