[Full /tmp discussion snipped]
So is it safe to do "rm -rf /tmp/*"?
Not if running an X desktop, as all sorts of things get stuck in /tmp
that are needed. In single user mode it should be safe, and it probably
is when simply running on the console.
As a long term solution, if you wish to clear /tmp every reboot add
clear_tmp_enable="YES" # Clear /tmp at startup.
to your /etc/rc.conf
Ok, so it won't hurt X as long as I clear /tmp/ while X isn't running?
