Not every /tmp is a 4.4BSD UFS FS. > It doesn't actually avoid the quota files properly. Different issue. One could argue that having quota files in /tmp is an error, that if you have a seperate /tmp fs and need quotas, that you should: 1) md /disk/tmp /disk/tmp/tmp 2) mount /tmp's fs on /disk/tmp (or somewhere other than /tmp 3) md /disk/tmp/tmp 4) rm /tmp 5) ln -s /disk/tmp/tmp /tmp 6) put any quotas in /disk/tmp, so they aren't in the path of the rc-based cleanup > It should probably also check whether the quota files are owned by root.
