As Bug 400298 demonstrates, the cleaning out of /tmp occurs _after_ /tmp is being used by applications just starting up, thus removing information still valid. So either the cleaning will have to occur _before_ anything gets written to /tmp on boot or else on shutting down. cron-4.1-171 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
