I have a strange problem. Only the user you built nano-X and use it.
I built nano-X as a certain user and then copied it to /usr/local/bin/nano-X
But, only the user who origanlly built can start it. All others get a:
cannot bind to named socket
error.

What gives?

This is likely permissions on the /tmp/.nano-X file that is
created for the named FIFO.
