:> in /etc/rc. We have a directory for variable data, it's called

:You can help here; if we can get a guaranteed mount (for all possible
:types of mount) of /var, then I'll agree with you. Remember that this

7-8 p.m. PST, I will throw together and test a patch. I'm not happy
that I have to be the one to do it, but I'll do it.
