 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.
