I'm not sure. Could chgrp the file in /tmp before moving, I suppose, but is that portable? >> Other than setting TMPDIR is there a way to quiet these messages? > >One possibility is to use GNU mv rather than BSD mv. This is for swish-e, an open source project. We released a version yesterday and people on BSD complained about that message. I feel like the message is harmless, but some would like to see configure run without any warnings. I have to explain how to run ./configure && make often enough, so asking the user to install GNU mv might be too much. Thanks, -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
