As soon as you stop the root X process, the permissions are typically restored.What's the best way to monitor that?
I probably mentioned this but this goes on 24/7, every two minutes. I can't narrow it down to any process that is starting and stopping. The only process I can say for sure that starts and stops every two minutes is fetchmail when it polls my main mail account and I'm pretty sure that that's not a root X process.
