My Xterm on iMac G3 starts up and dies with the following message: ============ XFree86 Version 4.3.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root [DRI] screen 0 installation complete Screen 0 added: 1024x768 @ (0,0) Quitting XDarwin... =================== displayed in the Console log. I cannot seem to figure out what the exact command to do this is. I know it uses "chown" or I think so, but I don't know how to indicate the owner change is to root.
	Help appreciated, assuming I have identified the problem.
