Hi.
This is pretty basic Unix stuff. Setting /tmp to 777, well it may work, is
not a good idea. Really, /tmp should have the sticky bit set. You should
set permissions to 1777 (drwxrwxrwt) vice just 777.
Be sure to check man pages. :)
From chmod man page:
STICKY DIRECTORIES
When the sticky bit is set on a directory, files in that directory may be
unlinked or renamed only by root or their owner.
Without the sticky bit, anyone able to write to the directory can delete
or rename files. The sticky bit is commonly found on directories, such as
/tmp, that are world-writable.
