[arm-allstar] sess files in /tmp directory

[David McGough]

Hi LaRoy,

Yes, the session files are generated by new versions of Supermon and 
Allmon2.

Yes, a reboot will remove these files, since /tmp is a RAM-drive
filesystem.

Also, there is a clean-up script (/etc/cron.daily/clean-sessions) that
will remove old session files, too. 

Note that these files don't present any security hazard or any other 
concerns. Since these files are very small, they don't present a system 
resource availability concern, either.
