thanks, geoff and tim. another valuable pointer!
isn't debian-user great? (MUCH more sensible here than those
disgruntled creeps at smoothwall, which i'm trying to ditch as

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #77 from USM Bish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Oh No ! I have DELETED MY /TMP BY MISTAKE. How do I recreate
it? Here's your goal:
drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 2048 Jan 7 13:34 /tmp
Notice the permisions! As root, do these:
# cd /
# mkdir tmp
# chmod 1777 tmp
# chown root.root tmp
That's all there is to it.
