From: "Monty Ree" <chulmin2 () hotmail com> I have found that lots of attackers using /tmp or /dev/shm to save and execute backdoor. So I would like to secure this directory.. I opened /etc/fstab file and added noexec, nosuid option and remounted.
On FreeBSD I've always set /tmp this way: /dev/ad0s1e /tmp ufs rw,nosuid,nodev 2 2 P "You teach best what you most need to learn." - Richard Bach
