I ask you > kindly to back the /var/tmp cleaning out please. 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 ? > Thanks, > > -- > Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Network- and systemadministrator > VIA Net.Works The Netherlands > BSD: Technical excellence at its best http://www.via-net-works.nl > The flowers in the garden will mark your absence, and rejoice the day > of your return... -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
