> Databases are stored in /var/db for security reasons

Just curious... What are the security reasons? After some thought, here's
what I'm planning on doing... 

Disk is 73gb scsi...

/	500mb
swap	4gb
/var	4gb
/usr	4gb
/home	remainder (about 60gb)

then /var/db/mysql -> /home/mysql

and /tmp on swap

Any possible issues with this?

Cheers
Brendan
