And if you get really paranoid you can write a cron that cleans out any
files in your temp tree... I think it looks some thing like
`find /path/to/temps --mtime=+someamountoftime {rm}` iirc, I really need
man to get it right.

You could also write a cron hook to clean out your temp dirs.. I feel
there was one proposed at one time.
