[X-Apps] Safari warning... And FIX?

[Bill Reburn]

Thanks Chris,

It was a problem of the tmp file being erased! Strange. At least it wasn't
an entire driectory like some people have experienced.

An Apple Discussion member posted this as the fix;
__________________________
Go into terminal and type:

ln -s /private/tmp /tmp

Include spaces. 

Then log out an log in again.  Make sure your Admin.

Problems should be solved.

The first letter  is a lower case L like Ellen.

For some reason Safari wipes out the 'tmp" file whatever that is.

And I remember when Mac meant ease of use.
