Mr. Harald

Thank you so much for the detailed information. I tried two commands which
you kindly suggested. The results are as below.

    [root at vhost /var/log]# stat /var/run

I wonder why“British”are not set.

May I ask you a question? You kindly wrote

I couldn’t catch the meaning about "that should be /run to begin with.”
Also, where will the bugreport be generated.

Would you please let me know about these two questions?
