rc was built for a system that made /tmp secure by not sharing it (it's
always private to a user and even sometimes to a set of processes).
That way not every app has to try to help sustain the pretence that a
shared /tmp can really be secured (+s bits, EXCL create, etc..)
Obviously the version for Unix will have to change its generation scheme to
fit in.
