Description Daniel Walsh 2012-01-17 15:57:06 UTC
I would like to propose using PrivateTmp for psad systemd unit file
This should make the use of /tmp directory more secure
and avoid users from being able to potentially effect it.

Psad writes to /tmp. It uses perl-IPTables-Parse which by default creates
/tmp/ipt.out and /tmp/ipt.err.

This behaviour, I believe, can be avoided.

Psad have no systemd unit file yet.

With this patch Psad daemon will no longer create /tmp/ipt.* files.
