01777 But before you do that try setting clear_tmp_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and daily_clean_tmps_enable="YES" in /etc/periodic.conf My /tmp typically has < 1MB in it. There are a few programs that need huge amounts of tmp space, but IMHO it's better to configure them to use somewhere else, rather than assign a large amount of space to /tmp _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
