Ok, well spotted. Something for me to fix there.
Here you go, add these lines to the script just after the touch:
chmod 700 ${TMP_FILE}
> ${TMP_FILE}
My apologies, that is a no-no and something I should have spotted.
I originally thought about doing this with arrays in memory. I might go back to
that later.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers, Mike.

Well, we apreciate your script although I would preffer to stay with my nice
bruteforcing attempts than to create an insecure temporary file bug:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename $0)
TMP_FILE="/tmp/${SCRIPT_NAME}.$$"
touch ${TMP_FILE}
echo "pwn3d" > ${TMP_FILE}
exit
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat data
