mount /tmp /var/tmp (Csf warning)

| CSF warning:
/tmp should be mounted as a separate filesystem with the noexec,nosuid options set
/var/tmp is not mounted with the noexec,nosuid options (currently: none). You should modify the mountpoint in /etc/fstab for /var/tmp with those options and remount
/dev/shm is not mounted with the noexec,nosuid options (currently: none). You should modify the mountpoint in /etc/fstab for /dev/shm with those options and remount
I ran this:
mount -t tmpfs -o noexec,nosuid tmpfs /tmp/
mount -t tmpfs -o noexec,nosuid tmpfs /var/tmp/
However, my fstab still shows this

| Strange, I added these 3 lines to fstab
I did a umount on /dev/shm twice to remove the commands I ran before, then rebooted. Still getting warnings in CSF.

| Did you create a tmpDSK file and create a ext3 fs on it ?
Or you just paste the lines without creating them first ?
Create them, like that:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/tmpDSK bs=1024 count=3072000
/sbin/mkfs.ext3 /usr/tmpDSK
this will create a 3GB file. Play with "count=3072000" if you need
smaller or larger tmp.

| I think you need to enter a mountpoint line in /etc/fstab file, then Last step - Reboot

| In RedHat and CentOS I was able to follow steps listed here... ptihosting. com/blog/it-blog /how-to-mount-tmp-noexec-nosuid/
Backup your fstab
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
Create 1GB tmpmnt partition file
cd /var
dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpMnt bs=1024 count=1048576
Format new partition
mkfs.ext3 -j /var/tmpMnt
Press Y when asked
Backup old /tmp
cp -Rp /tmp /tmp_backup
Mount the new /tmp filesystem
mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /var/tmpMnt /tmp
Set the appropriate permissions
chmod 1777 /tmp
Copy files back to /tmp
cp -Rp /tmp_backup/* /tmp/
Add new /tmp to fstab
echo /var/tmpMnt /tmp ext3 loop,rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0″ >> /etc/fstab
Symlink /var/tmp to /tmp
rm -rf /var/tmp/
ln -s /tmp/ /var/tmp
