This TMPTIME parameter (delete only files older than x days) will not save you in the long run. Cleaning /tmp during boot is perfectly normal, everybody does it. But it should happen at a very early stage in the bootup process. On the other side, the SRSS stuff should start very late, after starting gdm and surely after /tmp cleaning. And then it recreates the /tmp/SUNWut directory by itself. This are my startup links: # ls -l /etc/rc*/*bootcl* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2007-03-23 14:46 /etc/rcS.d/S36mountall-bootclean.sh -> ../init.d/mountall-bootclean.sh* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2007-03-23 14:46 /etc/rcS.d/S46mountnfs-bootclean.sh -> ../init.d/mountnfs-bootclean.sh* # ls -l /etc/rc*/*sunr* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc0.d/K01zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc1.d/K01zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc2.d/S99zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc3.d/S99zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc4.d/S99zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc5.d/S99zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-06-28 11:15 /etc/rc6.d/K01zsunray-init -> ../init.d/zsunray-init* > > Directory now stays but I seem to have to zsunray-init manually to > get sun ray past 22D (nothing in auth_log) > > Anyway now getting to 26D again. > > > On a fresh linux installation this is probably a gdm problem. > > SRSS is telling the gdm master process (via the gdmdynamic > > interface) "There is a new display for you to take care of". > > Then gdm forks a child gdm process which will start the Xserver > > and the gdmlogin greeter on this display. > > > You could add the two lines > > [debug] > > Enable=true > > > > to /etc/gdm/gdm.conf to see what is going on. > > OK done that, but it is huge, any tips on what I should be looking > for? > > > (Or attach strace -f to the gdm master process) > > Sorry I don't understand this.

For best backwards compatibility, this file will be used instead of the GDM Custom Configuration File if it exists on your system. Anyway, the configuration file (whatever the name) should include things like PostLoginScriptDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayPostLogin/ PreSessionScriptDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayPreSession/ PostSessionScriptDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayPostSession/ DisplayInitDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayInit DynamicXServers=true An example is on the wiki page, <http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/6/62/Gdm.conf.txt> Also, the script directories mentioned and the scripts in them should exist, and gdm should start before SRSS. Hope this helps a little bit further.
