Hallo,

>> For some reason my /tmp directory keeps resetting to 0755

a typical reason for this problem is unpacking an archive file in /tmp
which contains the "." current directory. tar will happily reset the
permissions and destroy the 1777 setting.

For exactly this reason I try to avoid creating archives with commands
like "tar cf file.tar ." and always enumerate specific filenames and
directory names.

Hunting this down might be fun. A q&d solution would be to add a S99
startup file which resets directory permissions ;)

Tschau...Thomas
