Just going off on a tangent - when I noticed this issue, several Fedora
releases ago, thanks to the /tmp permissions that I mention, root could
still log in (graphically), but users couldn't.  I expect because root
could still create the files it wanted in the way that it wanted them.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
