The port security/logcheck creates /usr/local/etc/tmp[1] and chmod's it to 700. It does that because the temp files it creates and uses need to be relativly secure. It writes out several files that could cause problems if a user made links, etc. Does anyone see any issues which we need to deal with? e.g. the security of this directory, the name of this directory... [1] - Prior to a recent port change, it used /usr/local/etc/tmp -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan@unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php got any work? I'm looking for some.
