Hi Bob, On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 02:18, Bob Hoffman <bob at bobhoffman.com> wrote: > I noticed after my install that the tmp directory was > A- not a sticky Then there must be something wrong with your install, because all stock installs of CentOS I have done so far will create /tmp as sticky directory. > B- still executable You mean permissions? chmod +x? Because it is supposed to have executable permissions. If you mean mounted with noexec, that's different, that's something that is not done by default on CentOS. That is something that can be done only if /tmp is created as a separate partition, but that is not something that everybody does, and I think the default partitioning in CentOS is to keep /tmp on the root filesystem. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approach, you should choose yours. By the way, to do it by default, this is what I use in the ks.cfg I use to kickstart install my machines: logvol /tmp --vgname=raidvol --name=tmp --size=4096 --fstype=ext3 --fsoptions="nodev,nosuid,noexec" I'm still concerned with the fact that you said on your install it was not sticky, because on all my installs, even if I create /tmp as a different filesystem with fsoptions, it is created as a sticky directory. Could you re-check that please? Filipe
