Brooks,
Inode paraniods are not concerned about *removing* these tmp_xdirs, but
more about creating them, right? Moreover, if these tmp_xdirs are already
there, and at some point ${clear_tmp_xdirs} is cleared, then the tmp_xdirs
will never be removed at a next reboot!
That won't make the paranoids happy....
So I'd suggest to always remove them, but check whether you should create them;
something like this:
rm -f /tmp/.X[0-9]-lock
-rm -fr /tmp/.X11-unix
-mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix
+rm -fr /tmp/.X11-unix /tmp/.font-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix
+case ${create_tmp_xdirs} in
+[Yy][Ee][Ss])
+ mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix /tmp/.font-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix
+ ;;
+esac
And add to /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
create_tmp_xdirs="YES" # Create directories needed by X11
I will check this today or tomorrow on my 5.3-Stable PC.
Rob.
