Does anybody know what the following is for?
# prune quickly with one rm, then use find to clean up /tmp/[lq]*
# (not needed with mfs /tmp, but doesn't hurt there...)
(cd /tmp && rm -rf [a-km-pr-zA-Z]* &&
find -d . ! -name . ! -name lost+found ! -name quotas -exec rm -rf -- {} \;)
Besides the problems with a boot-time cleaning of /tmp without purging
it from /etc/daily (see my recent commit), the above fails to remove
the files /tmp/.X*lock, causing the Xserver to fall over if it was
active by the time the machine crashed.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
