I symlink /tmp to /home/tmp, and run tmpreaper on my /tmp. Instead of deleting, I just move it over to /tmp, and leave it there until tmpreaper cleans up after me. It's kinda like a manual recycle bin. You should run with a read only /usr, for security reasons, especially since it is also a firewall. Don't run your compiles in /usr. If you don't want a bin /home make a big /usr/local... Mike
