The fact that lynx has potential /tmp problems was discussed last March: From: Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf () BOSS STASZIC WAW PL> Subject: Another day, another race - lynx 2.7.1 Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 15:39:58 +0100 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.980317152338.14878A-100000@genome>
I have found a bug in Lynx all versions, except the latest stable release... lynx create temporary files in /tmp in this way....
[details of your average /tmp problem snipped].
From the INSTALLATION file:
The environment variable "LYNX_TEMP_SPACE", if set, will override the default path prefix for temporary files that was defined via the constant "TEMP_SPACE" in userdefs.h. See userdefs.h for more information. -- Glynn Clements <glynn () sensei co uk>
