+Description: Create a secure temporary directory.
+ tmpdir creates a temporary directory which can't be subverted by other
+ users. Nobody except you and root will be able to read or write to your
+ temporary directory, or make you refer to files outside of it by messing
+ with parent directories.

Description: Checks PATH variable for security
- Contains two handy programs.
- chkpath -- Warns about other users who can write to directories on
- your PATH, or rename them, or whatever. If checkpath gives you a
- clean bill of health then nobody but you and root can make command
- names mean different things without direct write access to the
- program files.
- tmpdir -- Creates a temporary directory which can't be subverted by
- other users. Nobody except you and root will be able to read or
- write to your temporary directory, or make you refer to files
- outside of it by messing with parent directories.

Description: Checks paths for security
- Walks a pathname, checking every symlink and directory on the way,
- and issuing alerts if any element is writable by someone other than
- the calling uid or root. Useful if you're paranoid. This package
- just contains the shared library. If you want to write programs which
- use this library, you need libcheckpath-dev.
