There is additionaly a security problem since if I create 

    mkdir -p /tmp/mc-paul
    chown michelle: /tmp/mc-paul
    chmod 700 /tmp/mc-paul

and now paul try to use mc...

For this reason I have create a tool called  tdtmpdir  which  create  at
login a ${TMPDIR} of /tmp/${USER}.XXXXXX which can not easyly DoS'ed.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
