What about using random file names and checking if those exist? The current fix for the mail lock file seems like the work of a lazy programmer.
Liam, Seeing your comment, started me thinking that there are a lot of programming techniques that one can use on UNIX platforms that would qualify as lazy programming. So, I began to wonder if someone has documented a set of security oriented coding standards for say C or any other HOL on UNIX platforms. If anyone knows of such a document, please send me a response. If I get anything substantive, I'll post it back to the list.
