On SuSE:
YaST/System/Sysconfig Editor/System/Cron:
The following environment variables:
MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP
TMP_DIRS_TO_CLEAN
OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP
CLEAR_TMP_DIRS_AT_BOOTUP

Or, if you don't want to use YaST,, you can make the changes in
/etc/sysconfig/cron
For Fedora, I don't know the YaST equivalent to change the settings, but
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch is run by cron (see /etc/cron.daily).
