Thanks to all that responded.

The basic response was:
"Sharing /tmp is a bad idea. Sooner or later you'll get bit."
"why you want to do that?"
"silly idea"

The reason I wanted to do this was:

My users are used to write a lot of there files to /tmp. Now telnet on a
cluster alias, you will be rerouted to any of the members. Suddenly you are
on member2 instead of member1, and the user cannot find his/her data. The
data is there, but on "cluster/member/member1/tmp"

What I did for solution is to set up a shared FS called /ctmp {cluster tmp}
and told the users to use /ctmp instead of /tmp. {NOW HOPE THEY LISTENED}

A alternative is to use /var/tmp

Thanks to ALL.
