    Hi all,

    I am using AIX 5.1

    My production job sometimes abends
    because the command aclget reports
    that it cannot create temp file.

    I cannot simulate the abend because the
    aclput command just fails occasionally.

    Then, I find out that the aclput command
    will call the mktemp() functions
    to create temp file in the directory /tmp

    I suspect that the aclput command fails
    because maybe the directory /tmp is too small.

    Since I do not have authority to enlarge the
    /tmp directory,
    I want to know is there any way to instruct the
    mktemp() function to use another directory instead.

    The man pages of aclput and mktemp tell nothing
    about this issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    Alvin SIU
