Check Text ( C-34925r1_chk )
Determine if the /tmp path is a separate filesystem.

# cat /etc/fstab | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | \ grep -v "^#" | cut -f 2,2 -d " " | grep "^/tmp" | grep -v "/tmp/"

If the above command returns nothing, /tmp is not on a separate filesystem and this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-30230r1_fix)
