I don't see how you arrived at that conclusion. A user who is content to normally create world-readable files by default is nevertheless not very likely to want his temp files created with the same liberal permissions; he might elevate his security at times by working on sensitive data within a mode 0700 directory, or he might merely have a single secret text file with mode 0600. If that data is exposed through a world-readable temporary file, something is _wrong_, umasks notwithstanding. _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
