and who should know this? my opinion is that there should be no need to execute anything from /tmp, from security reasons.
This is not the first time I've seent his point discussed. Generally the programs that require execution of something in /tmp have that location as a tuneable parameter. I think mailman/spamassasin/something was the last time I saw this.
Also not the first time I've heard this, but apparently some products (no time to google) as a standard distribution want to use /tmp for executables. Sad but true apparently.
