As a matter of course, can libpam-tmpdir be used throughout the 14.10 development cycle?
libpam-tmpdir sets $TMP and $TMPDIR to /tmp/user/$(id -u)/ and ensures that the directories exist: /tmp/user/ 711 root:root /tmp/user/$(id -u)/ 700 $(id -u):$(id -g) This prevents /tmp from becoming cluttered, and prevents people from seeing filenames still in /tmp. Firefox and Thunderbird put attachment and downloaded (viewed) file names in /tmp, i.e. if you open a torrent there's /tmp/fuzzydogs.torrent visible. With libpam-tmpdir, these files fall into their own directory, which has restricted access. In my experience, libpam-tmpdir causes no problems; however I would suggest running it through a quality assurance cycle before installing it by default. I do recommend shipping it installed by default. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
