OK, thanks. Now I have to figure out how to make /tmp a symbolic link to private/tmp while /tmp is in use. And I wonder what changed it....

OS X had somehow screwed up these permissions by itself on my machine, which broke a lot of things. In such situation, use sudo chmod 1777 /private/tmp to set the correct permissions again (including the sticky bit , denoted by t ).

I'm having troubles starting XQuartz after Disk Utilities → Repair Disk Permissions :
My permissions are as follows (after a+w on /tmp ). I seem to recall /tmp should be a symbolic link, but I'm not certain.
What are the permissions supposed to be on /tmp and /private/var/tmp ?
You're completely right. /tmp should be a symbolic link to /private/tmp/
user@host:~ # uname -a ; ll -d@ /tmp

lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11B Oct 23 2013 /tmp -> private/tmp

I should add that your permissions on /private/tmp/ look correct.
user@host:~ # ll -d@ /private/tmp
drwxrwxrwt 13 root wheel 442B Jul 2 09:15 /private/tmp

Good question. I just checked and I think /private/var/tmp sticks around longer because I have stuff in there from over a year ago.

What is the differences between these directories?
How long is the files stored in each of them?
The oldest file/folder I could find in each of them were
Note: TMPDIR is what you get when running echo $TMPDIR in Terminal. My TMPDIR is /var/folders/3y/d44gn_2x7vv8d9d67969f54c0000gn/T/
TMPDIR as defined in OSX is only accessible by yourself which reduces the risk of somebody else accessing your temp files created by programs using mktemp() to create temporary files.
The difference between /tmp and /var/tmp is more subtle and goes back a long way in the Unix world, the discussion concerning the differences and uses are probably going on since the first Unix system was deployed with both (see Google for long list of links). /tmp resides on the root filesystem so it it accessible as soon as the system starts (even if no other disk is mounted yet) but may be rather small. The /var filesystem usually is in another partition and much bigger. I've also encountered systems where /tmp was just a ramdisk or a symlink to /var/tmp. It's not that way on OSX though.
/tmp is cleared out regularly on OSX (see /etc/defaults/periodic.conf ), /var/tmp very rarely (if at all).
