Thanks guys for the good information on tmpwatch. A query about tmpwatch's
default cron settings though: Why is the default time range for /var/tmp
720 hrs (30 days) and /tmp is 240 (10 days)? Why so much longer for
/var/tmp? I know I can just change it to my needs, but I am just wondering
about the logic behind these differences.
