Hi As I know, all the applications know the names of files they create in /tmp. So is it ok to "chmod go-r /tmp" for security reasons, so the attacker can't get a list of temp files? Won't it break any applications? I search a lot, but I couldn't find anything about it. All the /tmp security hardening advised is to set nosuid,noexec for the partition. Tanks for answers. Kozlov Sergey.
