Clearing /var/tmp on boot

[Pegasus Mc Cleaft]

Hello Current.. 

	While checking over my system (9-CURRENT AMD64) I was a bit surprised to find 
tons of old files that were hanging around in my /var/tmp that were never 
deleted/cleaned out. Most of the offenders were dbus, KDE and PCSCD files. To 
be honest, I never really checked the /var/tmp directory as I normally use the 
/tmp for generic stuff (unpacking archives, etc). I was wondering if there 
should be a startup rc script that cleans this directory as well. I copied and 
modified the existing /etc/rc.d/cleartmp  (now 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/clearvartmp) to do this job and would be interested in 
knowing if this is a good idea or if there are any ill effects that I didn't 
anticipate by doing this. 

	Should the /var/tmp directory be cleaned on bootup? To me, it looked like it 
should as many of the files in the KDE directory were partial download files 
many months old. 

	I have included the script I used in this email, but would like to point out 
that I am not the author of the original script, I mearly modified the 
existing one to do as I wanted.
