} I wrote /usr/tmp, not /var/tmp.

Wouldn't work for me.

news: {1362} ls -l /usr/tmp
ls: /usr/tmp: No such file or directory
news: {1363} df /usr
Filesystem   512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0s1f      196958   166260    14942    92%    /usr

I'm also allergic to having world writeable directories in the same
partition as setuid executables or even any executables.  I prefer
to have world writeable directories mounted nodev,noexec.
