   I recommend always using a tmpfs for /tmp.  I've been doing that for   
   ages already.  There's nothing in /tmp that should be expected to   
   survive a reboot anyway.   
      
   Also, you can install tmpwatch, which periodically cleans out your /tmp   
   and /var/tmp based upon the atimes, which is useful on machines that   
   stay up 24/7. It runs from a cron job.
