What were you trying to do?
Post an article to discuss.
What's wrong:
Autosave files are retained in /usr/tmp, even after posting, after
quitting discuss, after logging out.
This occurs on any platform.
What should have happened:
The autosave file should be deleted after the post is successful,
and the buffer is deleted.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/usr/athena/lib/elisp/discuss
post something and do "ls /usr/tmp"
It's an easy fix: one line will do it.
I can provide the line itself, and the location...it's just a
question of revising the version that is there. This is a BAD
security problem, when another user comes on to the workstation
later...
