Hi, the url http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ says that this is the appropriate address for feature requests, so I hereby request secure fifo creation in mktemp, as I've stumbled upon a bug in a software that uses /tmp/fifo.$$ I think it would be a very useful feature against symlink attacks on fifos.
