No, that is not the difference between /var/tmp and /tmp. Users of /tmp are not "screwing up", they are storing files that are intended only to persist while the computer is up, to the correct place. If programs that write large files to /tmp are changed to usr /var/tmp, then over time a system will accumulate orphaned large tmp files in /var/tmp. Nothing will come along and clean them up. -- see shy jo
