Since /tmp is symlinked to /var/tmp, /var/tmp will get wiped. So, if you're using /var/tmp for something a little less temporary than /tmp, you'll have issues. There was a rant a while ago about someone who did this and lost a butt load of data becuase it got wiped. Caveat Emptor! Brooks
Thanks Brooks. This is the kind of info I was looking for. Bob
