	I recently installed a new harddrive into my NetBSD .9 system and there
seems to be a small problem. It seems to be deleting  files that are older than
a few days. From what I understand this is what most systems do for /scratch
dirs. Well I have started mounting it as /work now, but what I wanted to know
is where I can enable/disable the file deletion stuff. If I am totally off base
let me know, for all I know mounting it as /work will not do what I want but I
am just trying it till I get the information.

Thanks,
Mike
