I don't see a reason why programs like su(1) or sudo(1) should create any random files... If we really want this functionality then it has to be implemented on one place and controlled by some config file -- for example by PAM module, or by logind, etc.

I'm sorry but this is really duplicate of bug 753882 which was closed by Lennart.
