Bug#442879: x11-common: /usr/bin/X drops privileges too early



Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.3+2

Hello,

the new X version seems to drop privileges a little too early when it
gets started with -xf86config:

| holbe@darkside:/home/holbe% X :1 -xf86config xorg-tv.conf -nolisten tcp
| 
| Fatal server error:
| Cannot move old log file ("/var/log/Xorg.1.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.1.log.old"
| 
| [1]    12282 exit 1     X :1 -xf86config xorg-tv.conf -nolisten tcp
| holbe@darkside:/home/holbe%

Leaving -xf86config away, everything works as expected:

| holbe@darkside:/home/holbe% X :1 -nolisten tcp
| 
| X.Org X Server 1.4.0
| Release Date: 5 September 2007
| X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
| Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.4-2)
| ...

The previous version 1:7.2-5 did work well in both cases.


Thanks for your work & regards
   Mario
