Bug#669275: ITP: mkgltempdir -- Utility to create a directory owned by the gLExec target user
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Dennis van Dok denni...@nikhef.nl * Package name: mkgltempdir Version : 0.0.3 Upstream Author : Nikhef Grid Security Middleware Team grid-mw-secur...@nikhef.nl * URL : http://wiki.nikhef.nl/grid/GLExec_TransientPilotJobs * License : Apache 2 Programming Lang: Bourne Shell Description : Utility to create a directory owned by the gLExec target user The gLExec program takes care of switching the user identity based on grid credentials. Some use cases, in particular multi-user pilot-job frameworks, may have a need to securely create a temporary directory owned by the target user. The mkgltempdir utility takes care of creating such a directory. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is there not an existing package where this could fit? Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks; that's fixed now. I suspect ftp-master are unlikely to approve a new package for a single 7kb shell script. Is there not an existing package where this could fit? I suppose it could be packaged along with glexec.
