Just wondering what the potential size requirements for /tmp are?
I'm running a relatively quiet web/mail server and there never seems to be
much in /tmp.

I was thinking of symlinking /tmp to /usr/tmp to be on the safe side.

I know this is purely system dependant, but what is an expected range for
/tmp space requirements?  Is it a few MB or 100s of MB?
