I've just released 7.7F in the dev cell for the SGI. It will do three
things for you:

	It cleans out /tmp and /usr/tmp via a cron job in pretty much
	the same way it's done on the normal platforms.

	It removes crash dumps and disables them for "public" workstations.
	(On the SGI, this means that /etc/config/private is not set to
	"on".)

	Also on "public" workstations, /tmp is scrubbed anytime you
	log out from an X login.

It's still the case that you must reboot your SGI to pick up the
patches.
