I believe that /var/tmp should be cleanable in some way and would
suggest one of the following changes:
1. Change hier(7) to reflect the new behaviour.
2. Have a new $clear_tmp_daily in rc.conf to enable the script as-is
3. Have a series of variables: $clear_tmp_daily,
$clear_vartmp_daily etc.
4. Have $clear_tmp_daily set to the directories that you wish to
clean (clear_tmp_daily="/tmp /var/tmp /compat/linux/tmp")
Thoughts/opinions ?
