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
