tmpwatch never seems to remove directories unless I give it the -c flag,
which isn't always what I want to do. (In fact, usually it's not.) I think
the problem is still the one described by Aleksey Nogin in this bug from
July, 2000:
This problem existed for as long as tmpwatch was in RedHat distribution.
The problem is that by default tmpwatch uses atime for both files and
directories. But because tmpwatch is ran daily, the atime for
directories is always <= 1day, so it never removes them... I believe
that by default, tmpwatch should use atime for files and mtime for empty
directories...
Yet, that's marked as fixed in rawhide in August, 2000. Am I missing
something? Thanks....
