Ok, so lets get back on to the subject. As far as I am aware, the solaris kernel based cifs doesn't appear to support the same "server" features of Samba, but acts more like a dumb "workstation". This will mean it takes some time for something else on the network to assume the master browser r

[OpenIndiana-discuss] gnome terminal (constantly) writing to /var/tmp/vti*

2011-03-06 Thread Gordon Ross
Does anyone know why gnome terminal (and other gnome stuff) creates temporary files in /var/tmp instead of /tmp? Is there an easy way to change that? Would changing it cause problems? Also, has anyone seen gnome terminal go into a mode where it constantly writes stuff to /var/tmp/vti* files? Thos

*sigh* auto correct on phones can really be a pain sometime. This part should say: (b)  the answer as if it were oi, and perhaps a small line explaining that, for the moment, the answer may help, but as oi evolves and grows, differences between oi and Solaris will likely increase. Sent from

Two points I believe are germane: 1. This is a tempest in a teapot. Get outside and plant some flowers. It's Spring, or at least nearly so. 2. WTF? There is no "moral obligation" to help? There is *always* a moral obligation to help someone in distress - or one who simply needs help -

Helping people != supporting competing product. I will *not* wonder getting support from FreeBSD or OpenBSD community. You *are* not wonder getting support from e.g. Alan Coopersmith - Sol 11 Express developer (AFAIK). Any FOSS initiative has it's roots in helping people. - previous messa
