Description
A client using Joomla had trouble with installed ExtendedReports extension as CiviCRM / PHP couldn't write to /tmp directory. The hosting service indicated that our sudo change to the permissions to 777 was a problem:

Gents,
I had a change warning pop up this morning for directory permissions on /tmp, I assume one of you did it. When I looked, it was set to this:
[root@tiger tmp]# ls -al |more
total 784
drwxrwxrwx 5 root root 577536 2013-11-13 09:42 ./
That is wrong. I put it back to the correct permissions:
[root@tiger tmp]# ls -al |more
total 1440
drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 577536 2013-11-13 09:52 ./
If you are going to make system wide changes like this, please let me know. After you do it is fine, but I would prefer to know rather than having to troubleshoot something.
