Yes, per-user temp directories is a good idea. Installing the libpam-tmpdir package enable this by default, and beside some problems with the root user (bad TMPDIR is inherited when I restart services using /etc/init.d/ scripts), it work well. Perhaps it should be extended to allow the directory to be below ~/ instead of below /tmp/. :) It make it very easy to spot the programs not respecting $TMPDIR. :) > (On Linux it's also possible to give each user a different /tmp > through mount namespaces.

This sound a bit more scary, yes. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
