From "/etc/defaults/rc.conf" clear_tmp_enable="NO" # Clear /tmp at startup. clear_tmp_X="YES" # Clear and recreate X11-related directories in /tmp populate_var="AUTO" # Set to YES to always (re)populate /var, NO to never cleanvar_enable="YES" # Clean the /var directory I use the first two options without any apparent problems. I have never used the last two. Maybe someone who is more familiar with them could explain them in more detail. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
