Due to disk space restrictions I've decided to make /tmp a symlink to /var/tmp instead of reserving space for both. Maybe it would have been wiser to make /tmp a symlink to a dedicated directory in /var/tmp but now it's too late. Anyway, now I've found /var/tmp crowded with thousands of files with six letters long nonsensical names like "6mtgWC" or "bOaiA0" each 4.9 kB big. "file" identifies them as "TrueType font data". They all belong to my user. Now I'm wondering where they come from, (maybe OOo, Epdfview or Acroread?), and if I can I safely remove them. By the way, does anyone know whether tracker writes to /tmp or /var/tmp? Thanks in advance!
