Thank you for your response.

For the record, I am not trying to be rude, just trying to secure my 
Favorite Linux Distribution.  (I've switched MANY Users from RedHat, and 
Suse to Mandrake, and I would like very much to see it be the Best!).

Fuming aside, I try to stay out of the lime-light so that others can 
gain some of the spotlight.  If I have an issue that I cannot solve, I 
will speak up.

Realizing that this is a Mailing List, I am looking for Mandriva to pick 
up the support on this issue, as Securing /tmp is essential to 
maintaining a running server.

Is anyone from Mandrake (or Mandriva) working on this issue?
