Thanks. What needs to be done to have it adopted? > Since I use static per-user in home tmp directories > I have not looked at libpam-tmpdir though. I suppose that enabling it > currently requires making some modifications to many of the pam.d files? Yes, it does. This is a slight problem: it would be nice if there were a way to say "this session module should apply to all services", but I don't think there's any way to do that in PAM. It could be done in either libpam or a Debian script that generates the files, but it's not strictly needed. For the time being I suppose it could just be applied to the services for which it is most relevant: login, ssh, gdm, kdm, xdm, etc. -- Martin
