Hi,
Being hit by a bug caused by wrong permissions in a directory in /tmp, I wondered why /tmp is not cleaned on boot (which is obviously not the right fix for the bug I'm seeing, I agree).
I see that it's possible to configure this in /etc/sysconfig/cron: CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP="no"
Does anyone know the rationale for this being disabled by default?
Its difficult to get secure deletion, and also some people like their data to stay there over reboots. Also, I wonder why the /tmp/pulse-vuntz/ was created by root:root, perhaps after a "su" or "sudo". And why pulseaudio did not handle this bug like all other /tmp/GNOMEAPP-USER users, which do this just fine already.
