Description ta2002 2009-12-25 00:39:20 UTC

After installing games-board/gnubg-20090817, I found the following files in /tmp:

auth.23448
cont.23448
cred.23448
extra.23448
supp.23448
trans.23448

The files contain contributors to the gnubg project.

I am a complete idiot on this, but doesn't creating files with known names in /tmp represent a security problem?
