/usr/tmp is not supposed to be writeable, it's not even supposed to
exist at all.  I think the installation utility sometimes choses it as
the default place for something.  If you don't need them any longer,
you can probably remove it.  Perhaps sysinstall should offer this as
an option once the information went through successfully.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
