It seems like it is not needed. Some programs will honor TMP variable and other programs may let you define where your tmp directory is at. So each user and each program could have their own directories that are owned and only writable by their own uid. Jeremy C. Reed BSD News, BSD tutorials, BSD links http://www.bsdnewsletter.com/
