I want to move /tmp to /usr/tmp and create a sym link from /tmp to /usr/tmp. I tried to move /tmp to /usr, but the move failed saying that the operation was not permitted on certain files which turn out to be sockets: srw------- 1 root wheel 0 Mar 15 03:47 kfm_0_304_0.0 srw------- 1 root wheel 0 Mar 15 03:47 kio_0_304_0.0 and srwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 6 20:00 orb-28459264377060786 srwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 6 20:00 orb-52285320829767739 srwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 0 Mar 6 20:00 orb-5691798501490393653 Is there any way to move or copy them? If I deleted them would the application that created them re-create them? Any suggestions?
