multi-user guidelines for shared folders

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

is there a guidelines how to name directories and files in shared folders,
e.g. in /tmp on multi-user systems? And apart from the names, how
should permissions be handled?

User? PID? Random number?

$ user_related_unique_file_name_extension=-$USER-$$-$(mcookie)

$ mkdir /tmp/foo$user_related_unique_file_name_extension

$ chmod go-rwx /tmp/foo$user_related_unique_file_name_extension

$ chmod u+rwx /tmp/foo$user_related_unique_file_name_extension

$ ls -ld /tmp/foo$user_related_unique_file_name_extension
drwx------ 2 weremouse weremouse 4096 Oct 27 04:44 /tmp/foo-weremouse-23448-9daceca1d05461fefb2f5c5503711bce

Regards,
Ralf
