I agree. I use it. My problem isn't /tmp cleaning. It's cleaning #* files, *~ files, core files, etc. from wherever they hide. My exmh #* files, for example, live under my home directory in the messages' original folders from before they were "deleted" by exmh. The problem that used to be solved by find and rm, before we discovered that they constitute unsafe computing, is (old) junk files wherever they may be found. So, again, did FreeBSD decide to do anything more than comment out junk file removal in /etc/daily? If so, is it done and what is it? If not, can I help? -- David E.
