Set TMPDIR. I do the following at login: setenv TMPDIR `mktemp -d -p /tmp barts.XXXXXX` which leaves me a nice, 700 directory in /tmp. We should consider doing this by default so that names of downloaded documents, etc, don't escape, and we avoid the 100000 files in /tmp on those busy SunRays. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
