Feature added by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (RGBsuse) Feature #307510, revision 1 Title: Cron: set MAX_DAYS_IN_TEMP different from 0 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) Description: By default, openSUSE set MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP and MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP to zero, which means /tmp and /var/tmp folders are never cleaned. New users do not know of this, and after a while their hard drives ends with a lot of “garbage”. People who need those files not to be removed for sure will know how to change this default value but many people who don't need those files will not know about them until a “disk full” warning appears. This is particularly true for netbooks and old computer with small drives. My proposal is to set cron defaults to periodically clean the /tmp and /var/tmp folders. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307510
