Greetings:

I realized that my /tmp directory is in my root file system, which is
running out of room.

I want to move /tmp to /usr/tmp and create a sym link from /tmp to
/usr/tmp.

I tried to move /tmp to /usr, but the move failed saying that the
operation was not permitted on certain files which turn out to be 
sockets:

srw-------   1 root      wheel     0 Mar 15 03:47 kfm_0_304_0.0
srw-------   1 root      wheel     0 Mar 15 03:47 kio_0_304_0.0

and 

srwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    0 Mar  6 20:00 orb-28459264377060786
srwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    0 Mar  6 20:00 orb-52285320829767739
srwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    0 Mar  6 20:00 orb-5691798501490393653

Is there any way to move or copy them? If I deleted them would the 
application that created them re-create them?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
