touch "/tmp/x /etc/rc.config"

btw have you ever tried out this command? It won't work. A filename is not
allowed to have a slash in it's name ...

True. But spaces are legal... this is file etc/rc.config inside directory
"x " inside /tmp

Note that Red Hat duistributes a binary called tmpwatch (written by them
and GPL) which safely deletes /tmp entries. Quite old, AFAIKT.
