Why does my OpenWindows File Manager abort with a "mknod: permission denied"?


Under Solaris 2.3, the first time filemgr is launched, it created a
/tmp/.removable directory owned by the user who launched it. If a
different user later starts up filemgr, it will try to create
/tmp/.removable, but that directory will already exist from the last time,
owned by the previous user, so the attempt will fail. Fix by installing
patch 101514-02.
