Feature request: mktemp fifo

[Stefan Behte]

Hi,

the url http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ says that this is the 
appropriate address for feature requests, so I hereby request secure fifo 
creation in mktemp, as I've stumbled upon a bug in a software that uses 
/tmp/fifo.$$
I think it would be a very useful feature against symlink attacks on fifos.

Best regards,

Stefan Behte
