What distro are you using? Not that it's that important since logrotate exists in most (if not all) Linux distros. That being said, do you have those logs rotated with logrotate? That's a great way to automatically clean up 'old' logs. If you're only generating logs, without doing some housecleaning then it's quite normal your /tmp is filling up.
I do not think these are logs, I think Bastille is creating a private /tmp location for any user that requires the use of /tmp. It is for my own security.
I'm sorry, I'm completely on the wrong track here. That happens when trying to multitask an old brain. Sorry for that.
I looked some things up in Google and found that when running:
Code:
bastille -c
you are at a certain point presented the choice:
Code:
Would you like to install TMPDIR/TMP scripts? ->
Did you set that by any chance to Y (yes)? Could you reconfigure bastille and set it to N (no) to see if that makes a difference? Apparently according to a howto on HowToForge the preferred setting is N for this particular option.
I don't know nor have any experience with Bastille, so just offering ideas.
thanks, I think your right, I did set Would you like to install TMPDIR/TMP scripts? to YES.
But I might just try to delete /etc/profile.d/bastille-tmpdir-defense.sh, rather than reinstall Bastille.
