- 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.
