Doesn't work here (several computers, configured differently, over quite a few releases of Fedora), and I don't know why. I've done the obvious, of pruning out the /tmp path from things like the make whatis configuration. And I don't run any additional filesystem indexing tools. Merely listing the contents of /tmp in a graphical file browser that looks at each file, to determine the filetype, will be enough to reset the access time, and stop tmpwatch from removing temporary files. But that doesn't explain why tmpwatch doesn't delete old temporary files on the boxes that don't have anyone using them. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.24-78.2.53.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
