Possibly all he needs to get X going is 'chmod +t /tmp'.
I tried this first and it didn't work.

rpm -qa | xargs rpm ----setperms --setugids
This returned "----setperms: unknown option"
So I tried it using "--setperms" and it returned
"chmod: invalid mode string: '[various 7-digit numbers]'"
It seemed to be looping through this with different 7 digit
numbers coming back. The mode string indicates how to set the
permissions.
Here is a fixed version taken from /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-4.4.2.2:
# rpm -qa --qf '[\[ -L %{FILENAMES:shescape} \] || chmod %7.7{FILEMODES:octal} %{FILENAMES:shescape}\n]'
|grep -v \(none\) | grep '^. -L ' | sed 's/chmod .../chmod /' | tee /dev/tty | sh
How would chmod interpret ///? All files and directories 3
layers deep?
I'll have to see if I can get hold of a PC that I can make a
fresh install on to compare the permissions.
Thanks for the help.
Bruce
