#define quoting(Satoshi Asami) // * Hey, /var/tmp is not good also. I like to be free to remove EVERYTHING // * in /tmp and /var/tmp whenever I want. What about /var/db ? The isc-dhcp // * port uses this and I like it. // // I don't disagree with /var/db, but your "EVERYTHING" above is bogus. ;) // See /var/tmp/vi.recover. <BOFH> If an user forget a file in /var/tmp, probably he does not need it. :) </BOFH> Even if it's vi.recover. My lab usually has lots of very old recover files just because users don't even know that vi has a -r feature. IF the user knows vi's -r option, and IF he really needs the file, he'll recover it ASAP. Most of the times I ever needed -r is because of an unexpected reboot. Most of these because I did the reboot myself, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. :^) // // Satoshi // Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 jonny@coppe.ufrj.br Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro UFRJ/COPPE/CISI PGP fingerprint: 29 C0 50 B9 B6 3E 58 F2 83 5F E3 26 BF 0F EA 67
