Cleaning /tmp

A common problem in labs is having the /tmp partition fill quickly and often. In the realmconfig tool there is a configuration option called /tmp Cleaning that enables or disables more agressive cleaning of /tmp. Enabling this will cause any file older than 10 hours (the length of a kerberos ticket) to be removed from /tmp . The Red Hat default is normaly 10 days.
