<p>Hello, I am running a named service on the OpenSuSE 15.4
platform.</p>
<blockquote type="cite"># named -v<br>
BIND 9.16.44 (Extended Support Version) <id:cd2b460><br>
</blockquote>
<p>and I am getting an excessive number of binary tmp-xxxxxx files
created in the named chroot directory - /var/lib/named. (xxxxxx
is just a bunch of random characters.) What are these files and
how to I automatically manage the creation and deletion of them?
Could I simply add an </p>
<p>'ExecStartPre=+/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/named/tmp-*</p>
<p>to the named.service file in order to delete all these tmp-*
files whenever the named service is started/restarted or would
this be an unsafe practice? I don't know if these files are being
used to persist information across restarts of the named service
or not... These tmp files contain binary information and as such
are unreadable.</p>
<p>Much appreciate, and thanks in advance for some advice... Marc
C<br>
