I have to wonder, with all this discussion about one tmp being cleared at boot and the other not...Do FreeBSD users really reboot so often that this is an important case? ;) Isn't it kind of, well, short-sighted, to rely on cleaning something out at boot-time on a system which could potentailly see uptime measured in years? I would think it's even sillier to say that your security relies on /tmp being cleared at boot -- does that mean FreeBSD needs to be rebooted every x days to remain secure? Please. If this is the case, something is a lot more seriously wrong than having two /tmps.. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
