Doh... I wrote an email and tried to send it but got an error that a file in my temp dir was full. So I deleted my temp dir and created a new one.. And now things are screwy. When I try to look at messages I get an error that the permissions of the dir are messed up. I can't send messages either... So I need to chmod tmp? What would the command be?

Not on my linux box so can't tell you what permisions my /tmp dir is set to, but if you're not too concerned about security (don't think there's much of a risk with the /tmp directory), try:

chmod 777 /tmp

that'll give read/write/execute permissions to everyone
