I work in a computer lab at a university. We use LDAP to verify that
users have access privileges, then automatically create a local home
directory for them as part of a login script. Each user's local path is
given by the LDAP server, so the user's directory is not in the usual
/Users/ directory.
This seems to break the X11 beta. I can install and run X11 as an
admin, and everything works. It also works as any local user. But when
I log in as an LDAP user, X11 fails to launch. On one trial as an LDAP
user, X11 launched and opened xterm, but that immediately threw an
error that xinit cannot find the uid. But on most trials X11 crashes
before it launched xterm.
I attempted to fix this by copying the entire admin directory to the
LDAP user's directory, but X11 still didn't work for the LDAP user.
Any tips on how to get X11 to work with LDAP users? Otherwise I'll
submit this as a bug.
Thanks,
Aaron
