Does anyone know the rationale for this being disabled by default?
Caution and defensive. I consider this approach as the right one. Independent if it is /tmp, /var/tmp or any different directory. And as it is possible to configure it different the administrator has the choise.
Related to this. Aged temp files are deleted, but not if they belong to root. Shouldn't they be deleted too? Alternatively, couldn't they be handled with another set of settings for root's temp files?
BTW Doing it different would cause the same repetitive complains as there are still regarding SuSEconfig overwriting settings. This had been the case in the very, very early S.u.S.E. days but trolls still put out this rumour.
:-) I recently heard about some yast module overwriting local settings with no warning. Maybe postfix, I don't remember. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
