You should never have to do this. The > should create the file if it doesn't
exist.
This is what one expects for tmp permissions and ownership:
drwxrwxrwt 20 root root 32768 Mar 2 08:44 tmp
If it doesn't look like this, run
chmod 1777 /tmp
The 1 at the beginning corresponds to the 't' at the end. This is the "sticky"
bit. On a directory it tells the system to allow anyone to create files here,
but don't allow people to modify files they don't own.
