Found it,
I had just updated to initscripts-5.61.1-12mdk and the problem showed up.
In the file /etc/profile.d/tmpdir.sh the line exists:
if [ "$SECURE_TMP" = "yes" -o "$SECURE_TMP" = "1" -o "$SECURE_TMP" = "YES"
-o "$SECURE_TMP" > 3 ];then
and I changed it to:
if [ "$SECURE_TMP" = "yes" -o "$SECURE_TMP" = "1" -o "$SECURE_TMP" = "YES"
];then
not sure if this is correct, but now I don't get the "3" file showing up any
more.
regards
Dave

Hi,
Could some one repost an earlier email which indicated how to fix the problem
of a file name '3' being created in the current directory when changing from a
regular user to root using 'su'.
TIA
Dave
