That was kinda my point. I don't think we should worry about braindead tmp cleaners. >> Regardless, moving them to a configurable tmp >> location is not a bad idea -- but I don't want to hit my NFS mounted >> home dir every time I make a tmp file.

For a while I ran a site with hundreds of users that all used nmh. I've since moved on, but still prefer to not waste bandwidth when I don't have to. My real point was that it should be configurable, which you've done. Slightly odd to make it an env variable than an nmh setting in .mh_profile, but whatever.
