Check the dates on the *socket* orbit* and you will see some that are
fresh. They are used for communications with your desktop, and
yes they can be deleted.
You probably should not be running your KDE/GNOME desktop from root, BTW!
1) Cleanup:
add:
/bin/rm $HOME/tmp
/bin/mkdir $HOME/tmp
in $HOME/.bash_logout
2) tmpwatch or cron
You can setup tmpwatch &&/or a daily cron job as follows:
----------------------------cut---------------------------
#!/bin/sh
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/tmpwatch ] && . /etc/sysconfig/tmpwatch
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch $TMPWATCH_EXCLUDES
240 /tmp /var/tmp /home/seaeagle/tmp /home/seaeagle/.thumbnails
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
if [ -d /usr/share/man/$LANG/ ] && [ -d /var/catman/$LANG/ ]; then
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -f 240 /var/catman/{X11R6/cat?,cat?,local/cat?
$LANG/cat?}
else
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -f 240 /var/catman/{X11R6/cat?,cat?,local/cat?}
fi
---------------------------end--------------------------------
It deletes all files in the above folders that have not been accessed for
more than 10 days.
You can add /home/username/tmp to it?
