I think that it would not be difficult to change this,
but it would be a source code patch to the PCMCIA
cardmgr, not just a configuration change.
There is one place in cardmgr.c where the tmpnam()
function is called. It gets the directory from the
#define for P_tmpdir in stdio.h. I suppose this could
be overridden locally for this program.
Another alternative would be to replace the tmpnam()
call with a tempnam() call which allows specification
of the directory in the call. It also provides for a
search order for the directory, which I'm not sure is
a good idea security-wise.
Which of these alternatives do you think would be the
best choice? I suppose this question could be put to
the PCMCIA support people as well, but I'm not on
their list right now ...
