Re: Error running X11: "mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied"?
Thank you so much, Colin. The permissions on /tmp were write by owner
only. The owner was root. I changed the permissions to write by group,
and changed the group from root to users, which is the group my normal
users are in. Now it works like a champ. If I had just known it was
looking in /tmp for this, I would have thought of this right away.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

What are the permissions on /tmp? 'ls -ld /tmp' and 'ls -al /tmp'
output
will help.
