IMO? If a hacker is guessing filenames, he's not a very good hacker!

The only significant difference (apart from the name) I can see with whatever.$$ and mktemp is the permissions (600).

So perhaps the race condition the man page is referring to is the time it takes you to chmod a file?

He has a point, I think, but IMO not a very big one.
