cd / dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpfile bs=1024 count=1048576 mkfs.ext3 -j /tmpfile mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /tmpfile /tmp chmod 1777 /tmp echo “/tmpfile /tmp ext3 loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0? >> /etc/fstab rm -rf /var/tmp ln -s /tmp/ /var/tmp

This results in errors while booting. Use <br> <br>echo /tmpfile /tmp ext3 loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 >> /etc/fstab <br> <br>
What do you mean by “secure?” Secure those directories from what? <br> <br>What OS are you running?
