I am new to AIX. There are certain files (directories) in /tmp which I
don't know what for. Such as .SRC-unix, .X11-unix, .gP, phase2.out,
rc.net.out, *.pag, aixfile, inu_list.new, ....  They are there since
day one. Can I remove them? Since they are in /tmp, I tend to think
they are temparary, un-important. I would like to clean up the /tmp
once a while so it won't get filled up. Anyone has any idea?

Thanks in advance.
