Hi, I want to use an encrypted home partition but I see little use in having my entire system crypted. So I wanted to make sure that TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp is honoured by every application (in order not to have /tmp as a possible leak for sensitive information). So far with little success (on Etch).
* /etc/security/pam_env.conf doesn't work because $HOME isn't set when pam_env.so is called. (is that how it should be? The examples in the file work with $HOME) * The Xsession man page talks about TMPDIR but I couldn't figure out where that environment variable should be set so that Xsession sees it. The kdm/gdm config files don't have options for setting environment variables for Xsession. * I tried setting TMPDIR manually in a Xsession.d script but the environment variable got lost in ssh-agent. Moreover, KDE, for example, doesn't seem to honour TMPDIR anyway. Am I missing something obvious? Regard^s Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
