Details
| Check Text (C-52046r902796_chk) |
Verify that a separate file system has been created for "/var/tmp".
Check that a file system has been created for "/var/tmp" with the following command:
$ sudo grep /var/tmp /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/... /var/tmp xfs defaults,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
If a separate entry for "/var/tmp" is not in use, this is a finding. |
