Hi Folks, mc currently writes executable scripts into /tmp.
I think this is something that should generally be avoided. On my pokey little server I have /tmp mounted noexec because I am paranoid. Why, since ~/.mc/tmp exists, and is used by mc anyway, doesn't mc just use ~/.mc/tmp for everything? I have patched it to do this (by editing mc.ext and starting mc with "/usr/bin/env TMPDIR=~/.mc/tmp") and it works splendidly this way. Of course the proper fix simply requires replacing TMPDIR with HOME/.mc/tmp in the right place(s). Is there a reason it does not do this by default? Should I submit a proper patch? Inquiring minds want to gnow.
