Oracle 7.3.4 tmp files on solaris

We run Oracle 7.3.4 on Solaris 2.6. I've found a set of files in /var/tmp/.oracle that I cannot move copy and do not get recreated from the backup tape.

I need more space in /var/tmp so I want to move the whole thing elsewhere (to another partition and link the directory).

I reckon that if I just delete them something is bound to break (I don't even know if I can delete them).

Any help would be great.

Tulan.

The contents of /var/tmp/.oracle are listed below
