Bug Description

Binary package hint: lightdm

Hi

"xauth list" times out in locking the authority file here; strace-ing it shows that permissions prevent xauth list from working properly.
open("/var/run/lightdm/authority/2-c", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

drwx--x--x 3 root root 60 2011-06-18 11:33 /var/run/lightdm

xauth list is called notably by "ssh -XY hostname".

Cheers,
