I went to an English primary school, and after that went to an English boarding school until I was 18. Does that count? :-) > P.S.

I've attached the new version (with your mods). If you could, please see to it that the German translation is updated; I'm preparing a new upload of tmpreaper and would like to upload it this weekend at the latest. Paul Slootman
Template: tmpreaper/confignowexists Type: note _Description: tmpreaper can now be adjusted through /etc/tmpreaper.conf Any local preferences for the daily tmpreaper run should now be configured through /etc/tmpreaper.conf (explanation is in that file). . Previously, you had to modify /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper which could be a pain because that got updated regularly, and you'd have to reimplement your modifications each time (or miss out on the new changes). Now you can adjust the file age, extra --protect patterns, and which directories to reap in /etc/tmpreaper.conf. . For this to work, however, you have to install the new /etc/cron.daily/tmpreaper file now. Template: tmpreaper/TMPREAPER_TIME Type: note _Description: default value for TMPREAPER_TIME now set via /etc/default/rcS Before, you could set the maximum age for files before they were removed in /etc/tmpreaper.conf; however, there is another place where something similar is set, namely the TMPTIME value in /etc/default/rcS which is used during booting to clean out /tmp. . To avoid having to enter this value in two places, the new /etc/tmpreaper.conf script now obtains the TMPTIME value from /etc/default/rcS, and uses that (if it is greater than zero, that is). . You apparently have changed the default value in /etc/tmpreaper.conf; you may want to check /etc/default/rcS to see if the value there is acceptable, if you want the upgrade procedure to replace your /etc/tmpreaper.conf with the new version. Template: tmpreaper/readsecurity Type: note _Description: Please first read README.security Before running tmpreaper for the first time, please read the file /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz, e.g. with zless. Therein is contained a discussion of possible ways that usage of tmpreaper may be insecure. . If after that you still want tmpreaper to run, please edit /etc/tmpreaper.conf and remove the line: . echo "Please read /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz first."; exit 0 Template: tmpreaper/readsecurity_upgrading Type: note _Description: Please first read README.security Before running tmpreaper after this upgrade, please read the file /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz e.g. with zless. Therein is contained a discussion of possible ways that usage of tmpreaper may be insecure. . If during the upgrade the /etc/tmpreaper.conf file is replaced, and you still want tmpreaper to run, please edit /etc/tmpreaper.conf and remove the line: . echo "Please read /usr/share/doc/tmpreaper/README.security.gz first."; exit 0
