Yep, +1, that's where this stuff goes. *BSD variants similarly use /var/db. ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hiersektion=7 ) Solaris drops everything directly under /var. I don't have any AIX machines (...anymore, thank Cthulhu) but sources report both it and HPUX similarly do not have a /var/lib.
