[Bug 623294] Re: /etc/init.d/x11-common's chmod 1777 fails to clear setuid and setgid

 

Ralph, It seems that some 10.04 installs have a root account in
/etc/group and some don't.  I have checked about half a dozen machines
and there is no obvious rhyme or reason between which have root in
/etc/group and which don't.  There are two that were clean-installed to
10.04 back in April which do not have root in /etc/group, while one
machine that I clean installed yesterday does have a root in /etc/group.

Either way, inclusion of root in /etc/group (or changing to a numerical
group zero in /etc/init.d/x11-common) both seem to fix this issue.
