deleting content of /tmp

[andy <geek_show@dsl.pipex.com>]

Hi all

Can someone advise me on the pros and cons of deleting the contents of 
/tmp/ as part of general security conscious non-paranoia. I was thinking 
that it would be an okay thing to do periodically (or at logout, etc.) 
using a overwriting/shredding program. But, before I committed myself, 
decided it was prudent to ask.

Your thoughts please ...

Cheers
