By making /var/run a tmpfs there is no need to fix any package, and in addition we get things working better on flash memory systems (which I expect to become really popular soon - see the OLPC project for an example). > I think that given the number of > users with a seperate /var partition buggy packages that use /var/run > too early will have been found already. A tmpfs on /var/run can work with a separate /var partition, I've already suggested a way of making it work. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
