   Didn't you have a X window socket in your /tmp?  That is why we
could remove /tmp.  I also figured that is one of the reasons why
the hotline said we couldn't (shouldn't) remove /tmp and replace it
with a link to /usr/tmp.  Can any one give me any GOOD reasons why
we shouldn't remove /tmp and replace it with a link?
