As they say, Unix gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the leg. This is pretty much like your /tmp, any user can fill up /tmp and prevent some applications from running, desktop environments can usually get affected by this. However, a correctly managed system should have filesystem quota implemented and a limitation on the resource usage (utlimits) active to prevent this kind of situations. -Imed Hi,
