I would make /var/run (and perhaps /var/log) in MFS. :-) Otherwise, things like /var/run/foo.pid might really become confusing. For /var/log, you can perhaps work it out sharable (e.g. by having one machine forwarding all syslog things to the other). Same holds for /var/account, if you're going to run accounting, for /var/spool/lpd perhaps, etc. Too many things under /var might consider this unique to a single machine. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
