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?
