Thanks for the responses.
Basically I've heard this is a widespread problem.
Easiest way to battle is to have a cron job run routinely that removes
cache contents.
To get a little more deluxe... add a /.netscape/preferences.js to the
/etc/skel for new users...
and write a script to seach for everyone's preferences.js and replace/add
an entry of
disk_cache_size and cache.directory
(I'm writing a simple script to do the replacements, if anyone's interested
when I'm done, I can share the results)
Thanks!
