/tmp vs /var/tmp

807559Apr 2 2004
I am running Solaris 8, updated to latest patches. When I create Posix message queues or semaphores, the corresponding directories (for example, .MQD and .SEMD) are created in /var/tmp. On all the other machines we have these are created in /tmp. I would like to change this location so that they are created in /tmp. This would help with some permission problems. I have been told that there is a patch to set this up properly, but I updated with the latest Solaris 8 recommended patch set last night, and things haven't changed. Is there some other patch I need or is there a different way to fix this? Thanks.
