One suggestion would be to create a directory in /tmp at early boot. /tmp/.systemd Which would only have root only access. ls -ld /tmp/.systemd/ drwx------. 2 root root 40 Nov 8 09:04 /tmp/.systemd/ When systemd boots before it starts any other processes it could check for the existance of this directory and if it has any permissions that differ, destroy it and recreate it. Then it could create the services directories underneath it with well known names. And bind mount those directories over /tmp. Then it would be easier for the administrators to find the /tmp directories. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk65N64ACgkQrlYvE4MpobNkzgCfX+BlELexPQhiRUQhV27Ni2Uo UnAAn1MrpVAWKX6uqEgfBQCSyenpmzBY =38FG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
