ahh, *sigh*, i remember the days.
in 1989 i looked in /tmp on our sunos 4.1.3 server at
imperial, which was running a bit slow, went "eek, that's
a lot of files in /tmp" and did am rm -fr /tmp.
a few minutes later the sysadmins quite literally stormed in.
apparently the printer queue temp files were stored in /tmp and 100
third year students were all trying to print out their course-work,
last minute.
oops.
yes, imperial college third year theory of computing students of
1987-1990, it was me.
