The track.* files you list below are put there by xcdroast (and maybe others as well) in the process of copying an audio cd. They do not get cleaned out by tmpwatch, (and I would not want them to be erased automatically).
Are you finding files or directories. I do see a list of empty dirs that make /tmp look untidy. An "rmdir /tmp/* " cleans out only the empty ones.
A little attention will take care of the ones that are large enough to be at issue, and the rest really won't matter in most cases. YMMV on what you are willing to accept, but any changes you want in operation are not too difficult to implement.
There are both directories and files. Here's an example of files:
[root@mavis root]# ls -l /tmp | grep -v ^d | grep track -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 296769536 Jan 26 19:06 track-01.img -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 521 Nov 14 11:10 track-01.inf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 30604268 Nov 14 11:10 track-01.wav -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 292 Jan 26 19:06 track-01.xinf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 504 Nov 14 11:10 track-02.inf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 34017020 Nov 14 11:10 track-02.wav -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 319 Nov 15 12:25 track-02.xinf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 511 Nov 14 11:10 track-03.inf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 29741084 Nov 14 11:10 track-03.wav -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 326 Nov 15 12:25 track-03.xinf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 502 Nov 14 11:10 track-04.inf -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 28468652 Nov 14 11:10 track-04.wav -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 317 Nov 15 12:25 track-04.xinf
