I should first note that we're working to get the unwrap program to
use /var/tmp instead of /tmp, at least under Linux and NetBSD. This
has been taking a long time, though.
In the meantime, to add more space to /tmp, you can edit your
/etc/fstab to give more space to /tmp by increasing the number in the
/tmp line, and then reboot your system.
Alternatively, you can put /tmp on your /u1 partition as follows:
Log in as root on a virtual console while you're not logged in
via xlogin
Remove /tmp from your /etc/fstab
umount /tmp
mkdir /u1/roottmp
chmod 1777 /u1/roottmp
rm -rf /tmp
ln -s u1/roottmp /tmp
Then restart your X server (ctrl-alt-backspace) and you should be able
to log in again.
