Thanks to all who responded to quickly.
The answer:
chmod 1777 /tmp
Original post:
----------------------------------------------
Hello managers,
A fellow administrator inadvertently changed permissions on the /tmp
directory on a t64 v4.0f system ( a directory under root, not a separate
file system) to rwxrwxrwx
Permissions on another system are rwxrwxrwt
The t bit is needed for security to restrict deletion. However, when I try
to set it with "chmod o+t /tmp" it has no effect, the permissions still
show as rwxrwxrwx.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
John
