/tmp + CGI question

I was hoping to get others opinions and comments on the subject of CGIs 
writing to the /tmp directories.

We are currently setting up a server to specifically act as a CGI server for 
customers.  Anyways, the concern came up today that users are able to write 
to the /tmp directory.  Apparently, the company wants to discourage users 
from writing to the /tmp directory in concerns over partition space.

I was wondering what other people have done to address this issue.  What I 
have thought of doing is having tmpwatch run from root's cron every hour to 
erase newly created files or mroe likely doing a straight erase of /tmp and 
/var/tmp, because of such scripts, like bulletin boards, that could be 
accessed constantly and would fail thru the cracks of tmpwatch.

On the desktop - MacOS X
In the server room - Linux
Windows? In the trash?
