Hello, I am running a named service on  the OpenSuSE 15.4 platform.

# named -v
BIND 9.16.44 (Extended Support Version) <id:cd2b460>

and I am getting an excessive number of binary tmp-xxxxxx files created in the named chroot directory - /var/lib/named.  (xxxxxx is just a bunch of random characters.) What are these files and how to I automatically manage the creation and deletion of them? Could I simply add an

'ExecStartPre=+/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/named/tmp-*

to the named.service file in order to delete all these tmp-* files whenever the named service is started/restarted or would this be an unsafe practice? I don't know if these files are being used to persist information across restarts of the named service or not... These tmp files contain binary information and as such are unreadable.

Much appreciate, and thanks in advance for some advice...    Marc C
