Overview
The /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/securetmp script lets you mount your servers /tmp partition to a temporary file. The temporary file only uses 1% of your systems available disk space in the /usr partition, for a minimum of 500MB, up to a maximum of 4GB. Securing this partition provides extra security for your server.
For more information about securing your server, read our Tips to Make Your Server More Secure documentation.
