[Sshguard-users] readonly setup broken with >1.5

[Harald S. <h.s...@om...>]

 Hello,

thanks a lot for that nifty tool!
I've bin using it for quiet some time.
Very often, I have jails which are read-only / mounted. /etc/hosts.allow
is then a symlink somehere into /var (which is writable).
This has been working fine with older versions of sshguard, but it
stopped working with version 1.6 for me. Not sure if that's really the
first version where the behaviour changed though.

sshguard want's to create a temporary file inside /etc reflecting the pid:
    "Could not create temporary file /etc/hosts.allow-sshguard.4020"

Why doesn't it use TMPDIR?

Any hint's where to work arround that in the code?

Thanks,
