Use a ramdisk for /tmp and tell your program that creates these "some of the files" to put them in a persistent directory. Modeling the exception would be much easier than identifying and reconfiguring every single program that might store private data in /tmp.
No. I still prefer not to use a ramdisk for /tmp, as I have done for decades. No reason to change. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
