The shm is used by tmpfs .. and various applications like apache,
samba which have shared memory segments .. If I am not mistaken in the
2.4 or 2.6 they were changed in the kernel to 1777 ..

Hello, all.
As you know, /dev/shm is 1777 and attackers used to write his backdoors at
that directory.
So I have saw the partition for some time and I can't see any creation of
the files.
So I changed this permission to 755, and there was no problem.
1. What's the role of the /dev/shm?
shm means shared memory?
2. Why this directory must be 1777?
Is there any problem when I change the permission to like 755?
Thanks in advance.
