Hi, I simply installed 4.5R from ISO image with separate /, /usr, /var and /home. After some configuration I run automated security check (script) and it reported 3rd world writable directory /usr/tmp. That was quite a surprise to me, especially with respect to the debate over it some time ago on this list. Is the /usr/tmp really used for somethink usefull ?
