My actual /tmp is 125.5mb with 124mb free. I assume that this was the /tmp you were referring to? I'll keep an eye on /tmp over the next few days and see if it grows. -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 9:44pm up 1:39, 2 users, load average: 0.52, 0.60, 0.52 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hate it when my foot falls asleep during the day cause that means it's going to be up all night. -- Steven Wright ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Live - From Virgin Radio UK Rod Stewart - You wear it well
