Thus, consider that (apart from my own personal opinion that a stateless /tmp is utterly stupid, a tmpfs /tmp is even more so).
So, change TMPDIR to point to /var/tmp? Which would of course make /tmp quite useless.
Independent of whether or not to use tmpfs for /tmp from security PoV it would be desirable to set TMPDIR to a per user directory rather than one global 1777 dir to avoid tmp races in sloppy programmed applications. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
