RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description amit yadav 2019-08-15 12:27:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
If Xvnc is launched with timers, it does not remove /tmp/.X<display>-lock file nor the unix domain socket in /tmp/.X11-unix/X<display>.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-minimal-1.8.0-17.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the latest tigervnc server on RHEL7 (currently tigervnc-server-minimal-1.8.0-17.el7.x86_64)
2. Choose an unused X display number (15 for instance)
3. Make sure there is neither a /tmp/.X15-lock lock file nor /tmp/.X11-unix/X15 unix domain socket.
4. Launch the Xvnc with timers (60 seconds for maximum disconnection time, 90 seconds for maximum idle time):  

   $ Xvnc :15 -bs -nolisten tcp -verbose -localhost -MaxDisconnectionTime=60 -MaxIdleTime=90

5. Wait 60 second so that the Idle timer will be executed
6. Check whether /tmp/.X15-lock and /tmp/.X11-unix/X15 are still there.

Actual results:
There are leftover lock and unix domain socket files:

# ls -l /tmp/.X15-lock /tmp/.X11-unix/X15
srwxrwxrwx. 1 root root  0 Aug 15 09:17 /tmp/.X11-unix/X15
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 11 Aug 15 09:17 /tmp/.X15-lock

Expected results:
No /tmp/.X11-unix/X15 and /tmp/.X15-lock files.

Additional info:
It seems this has been fixed upstream in : https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/727
I am able to reproduce the issue with tigervnc-server-minimal-1.9.0-3.fc29.x86_64 as well.
