Securing /TMP as per instructions of KB Parallels

[Mandi]

Hello,
I was following the instructions of: http://kb.odin.com/en/1410
to secure my /tmp folder in noexec mode.

When I edit /etc/fstab, I see another /tmp mounted
as:
none /tmp tmpfs size=1g 0 0

I add the line as instructed in the Knowledge base (!?)
and now my /etc/fstab looks like:

none /tmp tmpfs size=1g 0 0
/var/filesystems/tmp_fs /tmp ext3 noexec,nosuid,loop 1 1

when I df
I see 2 /tmp partitions.

/dev/sda1 972404 141324 781684 16% /
/dev/sda5 4881504 1948580 2932924 40% /usr
/dev/sda7 65384700 29728460 35656240 46% /var
/dev/sda6 4881504 1358920 3522584 28% /home
none 1048576 596 1047980 1% /tmp
none 1048576 596 1047980 1% /tmp


is the old partition taking precende on the new one?
Shall I remove the line of the old /tmp line from the fstab and then add the new one?

They look silly questions, but I don't want to mess up a 1and1, no support server.

I wouldnt worry about it, "Securing /tmp" doesn't really do anything anyway. All it means is that instead of the badguys doing this:

chmod +x /tmp/foo.pl
/tmp/foo.pl

they do this

perl /tmp/foo.pl

They usually do the latter anyway, since it involves fewer commands.

move mnt

Hi. Done as described above but my redhat would not boot saying it could not check filesystem /filesystems/tmp_fs only to drop in into the repair console.

I added /filesystems/tmp_fs /tmp ext3 noexec,nosuid,loop 1 0 instead of 1 1 so to disable boot fsck for that fs.

Would that be the correct way to go?
Any other method for moving /tmp from / into another filesystem?
