[Bro-Dev] [JIRA] (BIT-1531) Use of mktemp command should be more portable

[Tim Yardley (JIRA)]

    [ https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1531?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=24007#comment-24007 ] 

Tim Yardley commented on BIT-1531:
----------------------------------

I would suggest changing the fix to represent the generic template recommendation of XXXXXXXXXX rather than just going to 6.

By default, gnu coreutils mktemp uses ‘tmp.XXXXXXXXXX’ if the template is not specified.

> The use of the mktemp command breaks on some platforms, because
> we only use three Xs in our templates, but some platforms require at
> least six Xs.
