Are you sure? If you've created the symlink and /var/tmp is mounted, you will wipe /var/tmp at boot along with /tmp. If you're running the tmpreaper utility, you'll automatically wipe everything in /tmp not accessed within the past 7 days. /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh wipes /tmp only, not /var/tmp. -- Karsten M.
