Hi,

Generally /tmp is set so that any user can have access to it. It also should be set up to have the sticky bit. What this means is so that users can create files in /tmp but not able to delete anyone elses file(s)

# chmod 777 /tmp
# chmod + t /tmp

See the man pages on chmod and umask

Though it is bin for an owner of /tmp,
is it necessary to do for root ?

Hi,

Because of the permissions allowed on the directory/filesystem it allows anyone one to write/read etc. so it doesn't matter what user is the owner. In saying that I have root:sys as the owner of /tmp on one of my systems.
