+1 for tmpfs :)
Heres an example:

Thanks for the link. It's a little over my head though. I run a simple system that requires very little involvement on my part.
Today, I found upd.pl in my tmp directory. The date was oct 09. I also found my /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow had been changed with a user of 0Profile added. I deleted the old files and restored those from backup. I ran my chkrootkit and installed mod_security. SSH is not running so I don't know how this happened.
I'm running CentOS 5.4 and everyone should check their system!!
