Didn't we already have a fix to sort, which was to create a subdirectory under /tmp and then have sort create all of it's temp files in that subdirectory? If the files are in a correctly-permitted subdirectory, then we don't have to care what the filename-creation algorithm is (not wrt security, that is). -- --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
