This is a little odd. What makes you think they are temp files?
What is the current directory when you start the kermit session?
I would look at two things, from a kermit prompt:
show file
look for the "File download-directory: (none)" text.
Perhaps the download directory is being set, or it is going to your /var
directory directly, or some pathname is not correct during a transfer.
show variables
Look for the lines that reference any directory. Note where
\v(tmpdir) = /tmp/ is pointing. Perhaps it has been set to null,
thus pointing to the current working directory.
And perhaps you should "log transactions" which gives file transfer
information. I don't know if that has enough detail to show what's
happening in /var.
