[cups] CUPS filled up /tmp

Using latest RHEL version of CUPS.


There are about a dozen files with names of the form "/tmp/cupsxxxxxx" where "xxxxxx" seems to be a random collection of numbers and letters.  The files have today's date.


Most of the files are empty, but one filled up the 8GB /tmp partition.


I have "RequestRoot /data/cups/spool" in cupsd.conf.


I don't see why CUPS should be putting any files whatsoever in /tmp.


To be more specific, I do not want CUPS putting any files whatsoever in /tmp.


Yours,

-Rick
