Hi,
I simply installed 4.5R from ISO image with separate /, /usr, /var and
/home.
After some configuration I run automated security check (script)
and it reported 3rd world writable directory /usr/tmp.
That was quite a surprise to me, especially with respect
to the debate over it some time ago on this list.
Is the /usr/tmp really used for somethink usefull ?
Thanks in advance,
Milon

Huh? I never created a /usr/tmp. What created it?
