server socket directory has suspicious ownership, aborting.

[Destrius <destrius@bigfoot.com>]

Or rather:

# X            (or startx, initx, etc.)
X: server socket directory has suspicious ownership, aborting.

I suddenly got the above error message last night. I don't recall doing
anything to my X installation at all.

I moved the /usr/X11R6/bin/X binary to a backup file and symlinked
XF86_SVGA to X, and I can run X fine now.

Anybody know what's wrong? I have no idea where the server socket directory
is.
