An update. I have put the same /etc/fstab entry in another SL7.2 machine and it sets the permissions correctly on boot.
On the problem machine I have tried setting the permissions on the directory to 0770 before rebooting, but something is setting it to 0750 on boot. A manual mount works fine with: mount -t tmpfs -o size=256m,mode=0770,uid=defang,gid=defang /dev/shm /var/spool/MIMEDefang So what can be upsetting the /etc/fstab mount? I'm stumped!
