Does this effect us suse 7.2 pro users? http://securityportal.com/research/exploits/linux/suse/20000703-suse-tmp.txt
That article is wrong. default shell users _FOR_SURE_ do not have a home located in /tmp (they must believe we're complete morons...). This thing is rather old news. It was changed with the 7.0 already, and the announcement from SuSE explains how to change the homes of the system users to a directory owned by the respective user. This is the right measure to fix the problem.
Second ,
I used to have a seperate /tmp partition but suse needed more space, and I wasn't ready to pop another 2G window partition to give it between 500M and 1G for a freaking temp directory. What is the benefit to having a seperate partition for the /tmp directory
Note: I am not talking about /home/usr/tmp but /tmp and I am thinking it would need to be 1.0G right?
shmfs is swap, yes, so-to-say.
Thanks,
Roman.
