 * Sorry, I think I’ve not got my concern solved here. Let me rephrase my question:“
   How can I chmod /tmp/ 777 without risking my server security?” A few days ago,
   when I chmod 777 the directory, someone compromised my server. Can anyone give
   me a solution?
 * Thanks a lot..

 * But, even if I can protect the existing files, doesn’t it still allow others 
   to put or execute files in the directory? I asked this because it happened already.
