I also understodd the meaning of /tmp in this way - "does not need to survive reboot". For things that have a kind of temporary nature, but have to survivve a reboot, /var/tmp is usually used. For example, mergemaster's temproot/ tree resides here, as well as LaTeX's texfonts/ or vi's vi.recover/ subtrees. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
