Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tmpwatch-2.8.4-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. generate an "old" hidden dotfile in /tmp 2. run tmpwatch on /tmp Actual Results: dotfiles still present in /tmp tmpwatch -t shows that they are not scanned Expected Results: delete really all old files Additional info:
Any chances for a fix?
Works for me with tmpwatch-2.9.0-2.1: $ mkdir z $ touch -a -d '2 hours ago' z/.dotfile $ /usr/sbin/tmpwatch -vvv 1 z grace period is 3600 cleaning up directory z found directory entry .dotfile taking as significant time: Fri Aug 13 20:41:45 2004 removing file z/.dotfile If the file in question is a socket (which it is), this would be a duplicate of bug 66148.
I can't access this socket bug report. Why?
