| Subject: | Cleaning up /tmp directory; predictable tmp filenames |
In my /tmp directory I find
-rw-r--r-- 1 sand sand 2048 2007-11-07 05:19:11 sb-test.23983
-rw-r--r-- 1 sand sand 4096 2007-11-07 05:19:14 sb-test.23988
-rw-r--r-- 1 sand sand 2048 2007-11-07 05:19:16 sb-test.23990
-rw-r--r-- 1 sand sand 2048 2007-11-07 05:19:25 sb-test.24005
-rw-r--r-- 1 sand sand 2048 2007-11-07 05:19:26 sb-test.24006
I'm now generally using second resolution in my ls command, so I find
the originator quickest:
drwx------ 9 sand sand 4096 2007-11-07 05:19:02 Jifty-DBI-0.45-HSVPh6/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 sand sand 2287 2007-11-07 05:19:32 Jifty-DBI-0.45-HSVPh6.yml
The content of the last of the files is an ugly mixture of binary and
text content:

Please note that these filenames are too predictable so have security
implications if people run these tests as root.
Thanks,
