It's not really doing it blindly, it only removes directories and ordinary files that haven't been accessed for three days (or whatever daily_clean_tmps_days is set to). There is also a list of things to ignore. It's safer than setting clear_tmp_enable with a /tmp linked to /var/tmp, since that's the proper place for temporary files that should survive a reboot. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
