    We ran securetmp on our box as a test. We told securetmp not to activate on reboot. We rebooted the box to find that /tmp was only barely restored.

    After looking at /tmp there was no more mysql.sock, horde.log, .s.PGSQL.5432= and .font-unix/ was missing. :confused:

    The reason? Because /tmp had a permission of

    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root

    instead of

    drwxrwxrwx 3 root root

    Therefore on reboot none of the files above werre recreated in /tmp.

    If your running securetmp and you think your going to have a working /tmp when you reboot you better think again.

    After i rebooted with the proper /tmp permission mysql.sock and .font-unix was recreated however what about horde.log and .s.PGSQL.5432=????

    Put in a bug report on this...I haven't seen the script lately, as i don't have acccess to a CPanel server at the moment, but I thought it did 1777.

    The script does say

    chmod(oct(1777),"/tmp");

    I think it should be doing a recursive chmod...
