Here's a diff of a modified /etc/daily /tmp purge portion:
o replace test(1) '-L' with '-h' due to:
-L ... "Do not rely on its existence; use -h instead"
o don't cd nor find(1) execdir, rather full path find.
o file find stage;-
o read found & skip directories for rm(1),
check found item isn't open with fstat.
o securely random pattern overwrite stale files.
o directory find stage;-
o find only empty directories for rmdir(1).
o 5 day stale directories.
o similarily order ignores of .X11-unix, .ICE-unix & portslocks.
o also purge stale;-
o pipes.
o sockets.
o dangling symlinks.

# Additional junk directory cleanup would go like this:
#if [ -d /scratch -a ! -L /scratch ]; then
Would it be a good idea to move the /scratch example out of the
/etc/daily script, and into daily(8), as an example for daily.local?
