Seems that after cvsup'ing and doing 'make world' both /var/tmp and /usr/tmp
are different ... in other OS's I've dealt with /usr/tmp was a sym-link
to /var/tmp
Is this something that is just not done automagically? Does /usr/tmp need
to exist? I'm not sure if this was true from the original CD install and
I don't have a vanilla system lying around.
this is what I expected:
[drek@jazz] ~ % ls -ld /usr/tmp
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 14 1999 /usr/tmp -> ../var/tmp/
[drek@jazz] ~ %
this is what I got:
[drek@bunny] ~ % ls -ld /usr/tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 3 root wheel 512 Nov 30 12:25 /usr/tmp/
[drek@bunny] ~ % ls -ld /var/tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 3 root wheel 512 Jan 19 11:50 /var/tmp/
[drek@bunny] ~ %
this is not a problem at all it just tripped me up because I moved
/var/tmp to a different filesystem and some progs' seemed to be using
/usr/tmp still which I had assumed was a symlink ...
