It's /var/local. Not according to the Gentoo reading of the FHS. YMMV. Plus, my reading of wikipedia. But I agree you have to look at the spec crosswise to see /usr/local/var. > The FHS-compliant place to put these keys is $VARDIR/lib/ntp, where > $VARDIR is /var/local if you're installing NTPsec by hand and /var if > it's packaged by your distro. Wikipedia makes no mention, even sideways, of /var/local. Nor does the base document, FHS 3.0: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.pdf See section 5. "The /var Hierarchy". > $VARDIR/ntp is specifically prohibited: > "Applications must generally not add directories to the top level of > /var.

Sounds good. > So is $VARDIR/lib: "An application (or a group of inter-related > applications) must use a subdirectory of /var/lib for its data". Ditto.
