Same thing happened to me...
1> /tmp has the wrong permissions as installed. the should be :
drwxrwxrwt 3 root bin 512 May 26 20:36 tmp
^ note sticky bit
2> look at /etc/group note that you need to be listed under the
wheel:*:0:root,myacct
entry. I don't know the tool that is to be used. I modified some of these
files by hand, and seem to be in the guest group, as opposed to
the one in etc/passwd.
Anyway, that should get you past the current problems...You probably
have to make these changes as root, just so you can write into /tmp
with vi.
good luck...
