Sure sounds like a bug. Programs shouldn't be accessing the home directory of root. If it really needs that directory, it should be under another directory, maybe /run, not root. I think you should open a bugzilla against dbind, even if it isn't the actual cause, showing the warning message, and mention the other programs that it appears with. Of course, at-spi is kind of suggestive, spi == spy?, so maybe this is an exploit. Is there anything in the journal when this happens? Try journalctl -r immediately after the message occurs (journal in reverse order), to look at recent messages. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
