[ale] sharing /tmp with NFS

[Geoffrey]

I've been trying to think of why you wouldn't want to do this, but don't 
have any real examples.  But, /tmp is used by various processes for 
various things.  Understand that if a process writes to /tmp as a NFS, 
then the share goes away for what ever reason, the file is not 
accessible.  Also if a process writes to /tmp when the NFS is not 
present, the file will be written to /tmp under root on the current 
machine.  When the NFS is mounted, that file will disappear.  I don't 
know, I just don't have a good feeling about that...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
