Hey, /usr may be mounted read-only! Why not just use /tmp ? Sure - that's fine to change. Those that care will have TMPDIR set anyway. I probably made that choice of /usr/tmp for the fallback 10 or 20 years ago, and have never had reason to revisit it. I have long forgotten why I made that choice. -- I won't rest till it's the best ... Programmer, Linux Scalability Paul Jackson 1.650.933.1373, 1.925.600.0401
