Well, on newer Redhat machines, it runs a cleanup program. Any file which hasn't been touched within the last 2 weeks is deleted. So it doesn't even require a reboot to cause problems. The really dangerous part is that it might delete some of the files, but not all of them. It was a really weird case, but it is another reason why /tmp isn't great. I would tend to make the default: ~/.arch-params/revision-library Because that is inside the arch controlled directories, rather than creating a new one. Certainly we still have issues with NFS home directories. Not to mention that a revision library grows without bounds unless it is periodically pruned. All of this is why revlibs weren't defaulted to on. They have enough issues that it was considered more important that people would read about them, and use them according to their situation. Possibly a better default could be figured out, though. John =:->
