What about sockets in /tmp/.X11-unix? Or other X-related things, like the GNOME session manager, orbit, etc? I want to be able to leave my session running (locked of course) overnight... Note that I do agree that /tmp should be able to be cleaned every day, however before this is a reality a lot of software needs to be taught The Right Way(TM)... BTW, isn't this becoming a -ports issue? (screen, X, etc) --Stijn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
