If you precreate the directory before pam_tmpdir is invoked, the permissions aren't changed. Note that o+r is fine, but o+w is not and will lead to PAM failures, so you probably want to make pam_tmpdir as optional while playing around. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
