Fix Recommendation

Configure RHEL 10 to use a separate file system for the "/var/tmp" path by migrating "/var/tmp" onto a separate file system.

Check Contents

Verify RHEL 10 uses a separate file system/partition for "/var/tmp" with the following command:

$ mount | grep /var/tmp
/dev/mapper/luks-c98555c8-0462-4b97-9afa-6db8c4bfee3b on /var/tmp type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2)
Note: Options displayed for mount may differ.

If a separate entry for "/var/tmp" is not in use, this is a finding.
