huh. i was just about to suggest that. replacing mktemp with a version that uses a user-only directory (and the routine could check the permissions) seems like the best solution. or, such a directory could be created in /tmp when the command starts -- but cleanup might be more of an issue in that case. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 30.6 degrees) _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
