<EM>&gt; here is the relevant part of the xsane-0.49 source:

<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; remove(filename); /* remove existing preview */
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; umask(0177); /* creare temporary file with &quot;-rw-------&quot; permissions */

<EM>&gt; out = fopen(filename, &quot;w&quot;);
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; umask(XSANE_DEFAULT_UMASK); /* define new file permissions */
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The temporary file or symlink is deleted before the new one is opend.
</EM><BR>
<P>As it seems to be in /tmp/, it cannot be removed by User A if User B
<BR>
creates that file. Files in /tmp/ can only be deleted if you are the
<BR>
owner of that file. As said in private mail - try to use mktemp(3) to
<BR>
create temporary files.
