no. you chown'ed /tmp which is not /var/tmp. And, *look* at /var
*first* to see if it matches what I posted.
don't panic though, there is (or should not be) anything persistent in
/tmp, so it will fix itself up with a reboot.
meanwhile look at
/var permissions for potential problems. In particular, /var/tmp
should have the sticky bit set. Maybe you could post up the output of
ls -ld /var
and
ls -l /var
