And to remark for the interested that at a time when i was actively tracking source commits they removed usage of $TMPDIR to a vast extend, fixating servers etc (iirc; ie: base system). (Actually i have to deal with the above a bit because i use distinct mount points for /tmp/ (memory FS), /var/tmp/ and several other entries in /var/ which unfortunately have "auto-growing/changing" data to some sometimes "bitter extent", but which should not affect other things of the system, or that itself. Granted configuring this is anything else but automatic; and with program updates things can/could also change under the hood, too. It is impossible.) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
