If /var would just be non-writable, it would fail also without using rpctrace. And actually, it is on the root file system, which is writable; the error probably comes from this (as it happens shortly before it displays the message): [...] task316-> 2012 (0 8 0) = 0 20054016 75->25001 ( 0 {0 0} 0 {0 0}) = 0xfffffed0 ((ipc/mig) server type check failure) [...] 25001 is the auth_makeauth RPC. BTW, is there a file for rpctrace's "--rpc-list" option included in the Hurd (Debian) package? If not, it would probably a good idea to add it. As soon as I have that, it might make sense to provide the full log.
