Not setting $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, as the directory is not in order.

Hello, Looking for a bit of clarification here please. What are the expected uid:gid directory permissions of directories sitting under /run/user ? CloudLinux 4.18.0-477.27.2.lve.el8.x86_64 OS CloudLinux v8.8.0 STANDARD standard cPanel Version 114.0.11 Runtime directory '/run/user/xxxx' is not owned by UID xxxx, as it should. Not setting $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, as the directory is not in order. Interestingly the issue arises on some accounts (not all) : a) SFTP (WinSCP) user logs into an account b) a wheel group user who has permissions to escalate to root logs in c) an application that has permissions to login as root to perform tasks, eg: account removal (whmcs) I checked the directory permissions of all directories under /run/user and they are/were all set as root:root After modifying the ownership of the directories to match the uid:gid of the user shown in /etc/passwd the errors desist other than the usual 'Device or resource busy' which CloudLinux support pages say can be safely ignored. So what are the correct permissions for the /run/user directory, trying to get my head around what is going on.

The errors also cropped up when certain cronjobs are run until I changed the uid:gid of the directories: Cron php -q /home/xxxxx/public_html/crons/cron.php escalations /usr/bin/curl -s path_to_script >/dev/null 2>&1 The latter runs on lots of other accounts on the server but only one is affected. Thank you.
