If you prefer then add: /sbin/mount -uo noexec /tmp to /etc/rc.local The new pledge powers that have been mentioned recently potentially make noexec more useful ;) I am moving all potentially problematic fstab changes such as ro to /etc/rc.local (/sbin/mount -urf /), letting the devs use the system during boot as they would their own system.
