I see. Perhaps it would make sense to write /opt/csw/var, when you mean /opt/csw/var. (I know it's written at the top. It's about how easy it is to read and understand.) > that being said, I dont see why anyone would default to using > /opt/csw/var/run. am I missing something? Because of the "everything is under /opt/csw" rule. > Things usually default to using /var/run. you have to go out of your > way to force it to translate to /opt/csw/var/run ? syslog-ng defaults to /var/run, but I usually don't allow packages to install anything outside /opt/csw, so I wouldn't let it use the default without a reason.
