Hello all,

Can anyone give me an idea what files and subdirectories found in /tmp are
necessary? Maybe even an idea what some are for?
For example:
/tmp/gpg-<random_characters>
I have six of these gpg subdirectories within /tmp . Each contains a single
file called S.gpg-agent, identified as a socket, zero bytes. Are these
necessary? What are they for?

I have six subdirectories that each begins with ssh, such as ssh-dDwubb4505
and ssh-gqo1014839. Are these necessary? What are they for?

I also have a variety of other files, each zero bytes, that begin with ssh,
such as such as gs_IGTUs1 and gs_9UgcT5. What are these files for?

If it matters I'm running SuSE 9.1 pro.

TIA

Chris/CMS
