19 do you have WIPE_TMP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/bootmisc? if not (and you
20 don't have any other means of cleaning /tmp, chances are you have too
21 many files in /tmp (e.g. every movie you ever viewed with firefox).
22 you can change the setting like the example above and reboot the machine
23 and it'll clean you /tmp.
24
25 note however that every boot will completely wipe out every file you
26 have in /tmp.
