 there are a lot of legacy apps that no-one wants to modify to get them

What's the point of caring about security for a legacy app if nobody
is going to fix it if a security problema arises?


http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/libpam-tmpdir

is good enought IMO

BTW. Also it will be good say something about storing unix sockets by system programs (/tmp/x-windows/.X11-unix which is owned by root.root) in /tmp.

http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#REQUIREMENTS14
says about /var/run:
"System programs that maintain transient UNIX-domain sockets must place them in this directory."
