I was afraid of that. > You could mount --bind the real /tmp into the chroot /tmp - but then > you've lost all benefits of the chroot vs tmpfile races at least.. Yup. A clumsy approach to sharing a tmpfs instance would open you up to exactly the same thing. I think the best fix is probably for X to get into the 1990s and use /var/run instead of /tmp for the X server socket directory. Though maybe even that isn't much help, as most people don't share /var/run across chroots either. At least it's not a mode 1777 directory by default. -- G.
