I'm unconvinced of that. A quick test on Fedora Core 4 shows that
random files in /tmp survive reboot, and any moment of thought would
show why users would object to a blanket cleanout policy.
I do see this in a quick grep of Fedora RC files:
/etc/rc.sysinit:rm -f /tmp/.X*-lock /tmp/.lock.* /tmp/.gdm_socket /tmp/.s.PGSQL.*
but this happens well before any of the /etc/rc.d files get to run.
I think what you've got is a rogue, broken mountnfs.sh script. I don't
even see any such script in my installation ... what is its provenance?
