Maybe in future releases, the /var/tmp directory/partition or the /tmp directory/partition could be removed? Unfortunately, according to the FHS they both need to exist... One more thing, I haven't tried sysinstall for the 4.4-RC builds, but for 4.3-RELEASE, when you let sysinstall create the partitions automatically, it uses way too less space for the /var partition including the /var/tmp directory. (When using a 5 GB slice, it uses only 20 or 60 MB for /var). That should be changed is my opinion... Hmm...Now i'm beginning to wonder what this has to do with security ;) Jochem To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
