i've attached a better one which was posted by someone on bugtraq.  it also

# Set $TMPDIR to ~/tmp if the user doesn't already have a TMPDIR variable
if [ "${TMPDIR}" = "" ]; then
    TMPDIR=${HOME}/tmp
    export TMPDIR
fi

if [ ! -d "${TMPDIR}" ]; then
    # Need to make a new directory
    TMPDIR_TEST="error"
    /bin/mkdir "${TMPDIR}" && TMPDIR_TEST="ok"
    if [ ${TMPDIR_TEST} != "ok" ]; then
        echo "Unable to create safe tmp directory ${TMPDIR}"
        exit 1
    fi
    /bin/chmod o= "${TMPDIR}"
