Do you recall that one of the changes from CAM to Kiosk was now that Kiosk would source the startup files? If you think back to the days of CAM, this is a good thing.

What's creating this .softwareupdate directory in you kiosk users homedir is the Solaris software updater. It tries to run for all sessions but exit if you are not root.

This process, the subdirectory and the files in /tmp are harmless. If you don't want to see them, you can either delete /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/1001.swupnot

Or you can edit that file and put an if they to detect for kiosk mode using kioskstatus -q. The latter may get clobbered by patches most likely and the former means if you wanted to run the software updater, you'd just have to remember to kick it off by hand (and may also reappear with patches.

This puts large numbers of *swup.trc files in /tmp and I think I'd like
to not be doing that. RM'ing them seems to have no ill affect.
