Is this going to be your standard answer for systend problems? How about a security fix that needs to be done? Is it still your answer, to upgrade to the next version of the OS? And wouldn't this problem potentally be a security problem with 100's or 1000's of files left in /tmp? And no a reboot is not always possible on a server.
Personally I would prefer to get a fixed version of Systemd also for openSUSE 12.3 but it's not important for me, because I plan to upgrade to 13.1. Currently I clean up my /tmp/systemd-private-NNNNNN files with the following command or shell script: find /tmp/ -maxdepth 1 -name "systemd-private-*" -type d \ -mtime +7 -exec rmdir -v {} \; I am not sure, but I think, the "rmdir" commands does not cause security problems. The /tmp/systemd-private-NNNNNN directories are owned by root:root, but every user can create files in these directories. The "rmdir" command refuses to remove none-empty directories. My question: Why systemd refuses to clean any empty directory in /tmp? My oldest empty directories in /tmp are from 1970 (/tmp/orbit-myusername), 2008 (/tmp/orbit-bv) and 2011 (/tmp/kmail-migrator).
