Synopsis: New /etc/rc not clearing /tmp State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: jkh State-Changed-When: Fri May 16 10:50:23 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: This is not a bug, this is a feature. Yes, I'm also aware of issues like xdm leaving cacas around in /tmp and refusing to start again if you terminate it abruptly, but that's a bug in xdm which should be fixed there (it should check to see if it's actually still running before heeding the lock file). Clearing /tmp is evil and causes more problems than it solves - it's been disabled on many of our machines since the very beginning and should not be resurrected.
