Re: gdm will not start after tar restore of disk

Hi,

Actually it does run. I just started it manually but gdm will still not 
start. I have this suspicion that some of the permission bits of /tmp or 
/var could have been messed up by tar. ls -al in /tmp looks like this:

drwxrwxrwt    9 root     root         4096 Aug 11 08:47 .
drwxr-xr-x   21 root     root         4096 Aug 11 08:41 ..

Anything missing ? 

BTW, this is a RH 7.3 box.
