the default profile ($home/lib/profile) binds your $home/tmp to /tmp, but if the former doesn't exist the bind fails and /tmp is not writable, running /sys/lib/newuser is a good idea when creating users as $home/tmp is not created by default afaik.

while /tmp is really my privite 'tmp' directory bound to the root?
Could it be the filesystem permission nuances or program issues?
