In addition to previous reply, you can always mount (w/ proper planning of ourse) /tmp as memory file system; see newfs(8) or mount_mfs(8) (FreeBSD 4.7). - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

You can do a clean on reboot by adding in /etc/rc.conf: clear_tmp_enable="YES" # Clear /tmp at startup. You can alternatively get your system to clear /tmp periodically by adding into /etc/periodic.conf: daily_clean_tmps_enable="YES" # Delete stuff daily Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- "If everything's under control, you're going too slow" - Mario Andretti To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
