Allegedly, on or about 08 August 2014, Dennis Kaptain sent:
Rick Stevens suggested "systemctl mask tmp.mount" as a
fix. I tried
that and then I couldn't log in.
That sounds like a very old problem. I encountered that, many years
ago, when I swapped hard drives on a PC. Check the permissions of
your /tmp directory, the sticky bit needs to be set.
$ ll -d /tmp
drwxrwxrwt. 24 root root 12288 Aug 9 02:15 /tmp
Without that, graphical logins would fail. But command line logins
would work, as they didn't play around with putting things in /tmp.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.
George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
