If your /tmp directory does not have sticky bit (ex. 0777), try as follows.

    root# ls -l /tmp
    drwxrwxrwx   6 sys      sys          317 Nov 26 17:25 tmp
    root# chmod 1777 /tmp
    root# ls -l /tmp
    drwxrwxrwt   6 sys      sys          317 Nov 26 17:25 tmp
             ^
             |
            sticky bit
