Sorry for the top posting. 
In fedorable distro Almost pam namespace can do this. It was born from a 
selinux project, for mls need, but it can be used also for a selinux targeted 
policy. Its configuration is not the default, However. Best regard

Oggetto: Re: [Full-disclosure] Symlink vulnerabilities


 If you are in charge of a distro, it would not hurt to nuke it
 altogether and change all packages in your control to use per-user
 $TMPDIR. Some third-party stuff will break - but it breaks every now
 and then anyway.

Excellent suggestion, and you've piqued my curiosity. What distros exist
that implement tmp dirs in such a way? I haven't come across any, and
the more I think about it, the more I wish that this is something I
would see.

If you had your way, would you see it implemented as /tmp/USER
/USER/tmp, or some other way?

Cheers,
B

No, top posting is the *correct* way to do things, which most people on
this list don't seem to realize. Instead they quote *everything* and
then respond on the bottom. Yikes.

 targeted policy. Its configuration is not the default, However.

Yeah, I'm looking at this stuff now. I must admit I feel rather foolish
for not knowing of it's existence earlier. Humiliated, actually :)
