>Description:
/etc/daily and /etc/security have hardcoded /tmp prefix for temporary
dir creation. If /tmp is small, it would be nice to be able to have
temporary data written to e.g. /var/tmp instead, to avoid nightly
"device out of space" errors.

With the patch below, the temp dir prefix for these scripts can be
controlled by setting $TMPDIR in /etc/daily.conf.

>How-To-Repeat:
Set up a small /tmp partition (e.g. 30M). Watch it fill up during
nightly /etc/daily run.

>Fix:
