    $We have a SCO 5.05 UNIX systemm which has been running since 1999.
    $Starting about 3 months ago we noticed our cron dying overnight. When
    $we checked the cron log, the error which triggered this was "Cannot
    $create temporary file". This error message has occurred with different
    $programs, whether it be a uucp daeman or an inventory print out from
    $root.

       Check to make sure /tmp and /usr/tmp still exist, that their
    permissions are correct, and that there's adequate free space on
    the root filesystem (or any other filesystems onto which you've
    moved them).
