These variables should be removed (and possibly other unused variables as well) from the editor.

And did you do upgrade from older version or a full new installation?

so what is doing that job now ? /etc/tmpfiles.d only has "vpnc" on my machines, which job will cleanup all the cruft piling up in /tmp ?
That's the usual /etc vs. /usr split from systemd. Check /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ ;-) -- 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.
