I just remotely logged onto my F15 system at work and found

Thanks for this. I admit I wasn't aware of this mechanism so have learned something :-)
Interestingly though, the man page says that files and directories will be removed. That doesn't seem to happen. I have directories in /tmp (on F15) which are well over 10 days old. They have no files in them, some have subdirectories, but no files at all. So it seems to more purge /tmp of files, but leave the directory structures in place.
