Hi

As I know, all the applications know the names of files they create in /tmp.
So is it ok to "chmod go-r /tmp" for security reasons, so the attacker
can't get a list of temp files? Won't it break any applications?

I search a lot, but I couldn't find anything about it.
All the /tmp security hardening advised is to set nosuid,noexec for the
partition.

Tanks for answers.

Kozlov Sergey.
