Subject: how to clean /tmp at shutdown?

Hi all. I found that my fedora 16 doesnt clean /tmp at shutdown like any other linux distributions. How I can fix this issue? Using tmpfs is a wrong way.

I like the way it was done in SunOS:
Just reformatting the partition at boottime, as deleting many files could take too long.

I'm not sure what "any other Linux distribution" does that by default, Mindlessly nuking everything encourages other world writable directories, and many systems these days don't get booted often enough to make much difference. There are a number of scripts around to do smarter cleaning.
