NAME

       pam-tmpdir-helper - create safe temporary directory

SYNOPSIS

       <not invoked manually>

DESCRIPTION

       A helper binary for the pam_tmpdir module, pam-tmpdir-helper is invoked to create a secure
       temporary directory for the invoking user.  It is quite simple and is called on behalf  on
       the  user by the session component of the pam_tmpdir module.  It is not harmful to call it
       by hand, but will not give out any diagnostics, nor error messages, apart from its  return
       value.  It logs to syslog.

USAGE

       This  program  is not intended to be called directly by users and will log to syslog if it
       is called improperly (i.e., by some one trying exploit it).
