PAM-TMPDIR-HELPER(8) pam-tmpdir PAM-TMPDIR-HELPER(8)
NAME
pam-tmpdir-helper - create safe temporary directory
SYNOPSIS
<not invoked manually>
DESCRIPTION
A helper binary for the pam_tmpdir module, pam-tmpdir-helper is invoked
to create a secure temporary directory for the invoking user. It is
quite simple and is called on behalf on the user by the session compo-
nent of the pam_tmpdir module. It is not harmful to call it by hand,
but will not give out any diagnostics, nor error messages, apart from
its return value. It logs to syslog.
USAGE
This program is not intended to be called directly by users and will
log to syslog if it is called improperly (i.e., by some one trying ex-
ploit it).
