When running eterm-0.9.1_1 from a home directory located on an NFS partition that "squashes" root access, Eterm fails to start. Ktracing around revealed that $HOME/.Xauthority could not be opened (permission denied). Removing setuid bit on Eterm binary allowed $HOME/.Xauthority to be read, and Eterm to start (but not update wtmp); Hrmm... Fix: Build Eterm without patch /usr/ports/x11/eterm/files/patch-src:startup.c. This patch appears to be erroneous. How-To-Repeat: Install Eterm, run from an NFS-mounted home directory that doesn't allow root access.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Fix committed in 0.9.2 port upgrade (ports/48259). Thanks!
