Description Alexey Dobriyan 2009-10-30 18:56:24 UTC

Installation handbook or Hardening doc can mention "mount --bind /tmp /tmp"
as the cheapest way of preventing hardlinking from /tmp if it isn't a separate
filesystem already.

I use
mount --bind /tmp /tmp
mount --bind /var/tmp /var/tmp

and in /etc/fstab :

/tmp            /tmp            none    bind
/var/tmp        /var/tmp        none    bind

Reproducible: Always

No real need for this, not for the vast majority of users.
