I recall putting this in a conf PR, try a follow-up.
But I think your patch is a little bit wrong
I never like the way X11 is taken by /etc/rc.d/cleartmp. none must be
do after the run_rc_command.
If we need do this from the base system (Thing that I doubt more and
more), this must be implementing a new /etc/rc.d/clearx11tmp (this may
be do in the main /etc/rc.d/cleartmp, like in sendmail), with all the bits:
clear_x11tmp_enable, clear_x11tmp_dirs, ...
But I must point that:
X11 is now mostly a ports thing, not a base system component. If this
can be take from ports (I send-pr this also), this must be the path to
the solution. I put a simple script from libs, but I can work and rcNG
enabled thing if prefered.
This is not what x11 really needs. x11 only needs some like this: mkdir
-p ... && chown root:wheel ... && chmod 01777 ... . this may be
prefered by the x11 team.
This can be taken both from base and ports without too much problem.
The only secondary effect of this I know is that you may polite /tmp
entries twice, with is not a real pain to the whole boot process.
