Comment 3 Denys Vlasenko 2010-06-02 13:28:48 UTC 
Created a bug against sosreport:

bug 598978 "RFE: provide a way to specify destination filename"
Comment 4 Denys Vlasenko 2010-06-10 12:31:07 UTC 
Created attachment 422888 [details]
Proposed patch

The patch uses "sosreport --tmp-dir DUMPDIR" to avoid /tmp access problem.

However, this patch requires fixed sosreport first (bug 598978).
Comment 5 Denys Vlasenko 2010-06-14 19:07:24 UTC 
Slightly modified patch is applied to git, will be in the next abrt build (abrt-1.1.6)
Comment 8 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 19:32:56 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
