ugidfw can prevent /tmp access?

If you used ugidfw to prevent temp access to only the range of uid's you 
presently have, I'm thinking this should prevent an attacker from using 
/tmp to get around permissions restrictions.  The question is, is there any 
kind of succint guide or list of what daemons need access to /tmp in order 
to function?  Or do all daemons need this?
