Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: iptables
The iptables-apply script in iptables is very useful for me. It is
however currently using "tempfile" to generate its temp files. This is a
Debian/Ubuntu-only utility, which in turn makes iptables-apply non-
portable across Linuxes.
It would be simple to use "mktemp" instead, which *is* portable across
Linuxes. This would allow everyone to use the same utility on CentOS,
RedHat, etc.
Ubuntu release(s): Lucid, Karmic
