I'd prefer an option that only affected symlinks in certain directories (perhaps publicly writable directories). Symlinks in /tmp are a hazard, but symlinks in subdirectories of /tmp probably aren't. What if you want to unpack a tar archive containing symlinks in a subdirectory of /tmp? } Could you please modify your patch not to _follow_ symlinks in order to } disallow all symlinks in a given FS ? This is also reasonable, but what errno value is appropriate for syscalls that encounter the forbidden symlinks?
