No, /tmp should point to /private/tmp, not /var/tmp. /var/tmp is for a
different purpose and you should leave its permissions alone if you
haven't changed them. If you suspect they're incorrect, just running
Repair Permissions in Disk Utility should take care of it.

Whoa,
A little while ago I noticed that I could no longer connect to
postgresql.
I tried manually restarting the rascal but failed. I checked the log
and
saw that it was having a problem creating a file in /tmp.
I checked /tmp and it was no longer present! The directory had
vanished...
I created /tmp, gave everyone rwx and turned on the sticky bit. After
rebooting, postgresql was running.
I noticed that /var/tmp has not been modified in quite a while. Should
/tmp be a sym link to /var/tmp. If so what permissions show on /tmp?
Enquiring minds want to know...
