Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-15 Severity: normal
In /etc/default/rcS, the TMPTIME variable as mentioned is supported to remove files from /tmp is that many days. I've noticed that it doesn't remove any files from /tmp at all. I've also checked the permissions for /tmp and the files in /tmp, and they look okay to me. geeKISSexy:~# ls -l / ....stripped... drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 0 2006-08-28 22:53 sys drwxrwxrwt 31 root root 20480 2006-08-28 23:35 tmp drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 2006-08-18 13:55 usr geeKISSexy:~# ls /tmp/ -l total 86884 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 2006-08-22 20:04 debian-binary drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-26 17:53 gconfd-rrs drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-24 21:12 gpg-D4NnKQ drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-24 21:12 gpg-ECiPIG drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-27 20:29 gpg-iZKLbM drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-27 16:35 gpg-jLiusR drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-28 22:54 gpg-krLSQi drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-24 21:12 gpg-RqQaoi drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-24 21:12 gpg-SUUEPl drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-27 20:29 gpg-VzJiE5 drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-28 22:54 gpg-X2Q0KR drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-27 16:35 gpg-z2RXDp drwx------ 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-27 16:35 gpg-ZTT6WA -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 153463 2006-08-24 01:02 grub-error drwxr-xr-x 2 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-26 00:15 hsperfdata_rrs -rw------- 1 rrs rrs 1466 2006-08-23 16:22 install-uris drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2006-08-28 22:53 kde-root drwx------ 4 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-28 23:29 kde-rrs -rw-r--r-- 1 rrs rrs 42 2006-08-16 15:48 kmailrc drwx------ 2 root root 4096 2006-08-28 22:53 ksocket-root drwx------ 3 rrs rrs 4096 2006-08-28 23:27 ksocket-rrs -rw-r--r-- 1 rrs rrs 7509872 2006-08-23 19:18 linux-headers-2.6.17-my-patches-xps1_10_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 rrs rrs 7509784 2006-08-24 20:48 linux-headers-2.6.17-my-patches-xps1_11_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 rrs rrs 17147186 2006-08-23 19:13 linux-image-2.6.17-my-patches-xps1_10_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 rrs rrs 17148012 2006-08-24 20:42 linux-image-2.6.17-my-patches-xps1_11_i386.deb You can notice that there are many files which are older than 5 days, but they aren't cleaned.
