Still... My /var/tpm contains 17 directories named like "zypp.CU5YqK", containing about 14 KB each, dating since March (system was updated to 10.2 in mid Feb). They seem to contain gpg data. That data should not be there still. There is also a checkinstall.C18067 dir containing 73MB of files of a would be rpm, failed. Neither of those two things are long term needed, I think.

LONG as in time. This one can be used for e.g. /var/tmp as that can be populated by users and they may want to have access to their files after some time.

Well, /tmp is prety safe. Then there is /var/tmp, which some times is a link to /tmp, sometimes not. I don't know why there are two temp dirs. In fact, I have noticed that my "/etc/sysconfig/cron" doesn't have /var/tmp included to cleanup. Correction, it is included, but as those files are owned by root, they are not cleaned up. Plus, there are two new variables: MAX_DAYS_IN_LONG_TMP LONG_TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAR The name "LONG_TMP" of the variables must be indicative of something :-? Then, there are programs that use their own temporary space, which might be under /tmp or not. Plus, some old files have to be purged by their own applications. Printer queues, fax, mail... usually, somewhere under /var/spool. And there are some that don't clean up; for instance, snort. Jobs for the admin! ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
