That way you don’t have to rely on programs being well-behaved. There’s a Fedora Feature hanging around which might even get finished someday to make this happen by default. There’s also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ServicesPrivateTmp , which will be in Fedora 17, which will do this for most system services. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | I learnt the rules of rugby.
