Hi,
I full agree with you that better not place run-time socket or file
in /tmp, but it's a default value for most application. :-( If just clean
it, there's risk. I think that not everybody will take a look at the source,
and s,\/tmp,\/var\/run, or so just for keeping his own long-time-not-accessed
but needed socket/file from being cleared. This world is full of bozoz, not
hackers... *shurg*
So, I suggest (yeah, just suggest..) put $clear_tmp_daily and related
stuffs into rc.conf and let this periodic script be consistent with it...
Regards,
Clive
