TMPDIR set too late in security patch
In the security patch identified:
# security.patch
# Carsten Hoeger 23 Sep 98
This doesn't work as intended:
-JUNK=/tmp/faxjunk$$ # temp file used multiple times
-AWKTMP=/tmp/faxawk$$ # temp file for awk program
+JUNK=$TMPDIR/faxjunk$$ # temp file used multiple times
+AWKTMP=$TMPDIR/faxawk$$ # temp file for awk program
+
+# security
+TMPDIR=/tmp/.faxcron.sh$$
+rm -rf $TMPDIR
+mkdir $TMPDIR || exit 1
because $TMPDIR is bound at the time that JUNK and AWKTMP are set,
not when they are referenced.
