secure tmp folder

Hi,

When I had a server, I used some tutorial to secure the tmp folder with no problem. Now, with the VPS, I wasn't sure. The tech told me that he had secured the tmp folde r and told me to use the command: mount to check it out.

this is the result:

Code: 
[root@vps root]# mount
/dev/vzfs on / type reiserfs (rw,usrquota,grpquota)
ext3 on /tmp type ext3 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
About 1/2 hour ago, the server was down, and it was back online but with error that tmp folder was not writable. I have chmod it using the command: chmod 0777 /tmp

No more error, but I am still not sure if the tmp folder is as secured as the tech told me.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
