it doesn't work on afs? interesting as i tried this on nfs and it works.

hmmmm - it's possible but it does become nastier as this can become a source of
a DOS on a user (another user creating the same dir owned as them and thus not
having permission to is) that's why i chose ~/ as the only user with rights to
write there should be the user (well and root). there are ways around this like
/tmp/USER-x where x is some number. if it exists and is not writable by your
user - try the next numebr up until it does work, but again - another source fo
dos, just slowing down apps binding/connecting. i could then cache things in
~/.some_file but now we have concurrency issues in keeping that file up to date
and since it may be shared amongst multiple hosts, we need to have a per-host
specific file...
basically using /tmp becomes tricky and thus i avoided it. this opens a bit of a
can of worms... :(
