[root <ro...@te...>]

blah... slow day at work today... sorry for all the spam :)

a fix for the security issue brought up with 'new_script' in regards to
the tmp file race conditions that exist...

if a temp file is needed...

function temp_dir
{
	#####
	#	create a secure temp file thus avoiding
	#	race conditions that may exist on a multi-
	#	user system
	#####

	TEMP=`ls | grep tteemmpp | awk {'print $1'}`
		if [ "$TEMP" != "" ]; then
			mkdir ~/tteemmpp/
		fi
}

then, for the TEMP_FILE variable, set it as such:
~/tteemmpp/$PROGNAME

or somehting along the lines of that... tteemmpp can be anything, as long
as it's not in a world writiable directory such as /tmp

i'm sure you get the idea :)
