There is no such line in /etc/rc, so I cannot "enable" it. I placed it to /etc/rc.local, since Jordan plans to install /etc/rc in 'make world'. There was a comment in the old /etc/rc # [Disabling?] The above [clearing /tmp] is even more stupid since it prevents you from restarting # X11 after a system crash. If you disable the above [clearing /tmp], make sure to # uncomment the line below. [clearing only X locks] Jordan erased "above", "below", and the comment itself. Dima
