I may be wrong but I always believed /var/was a directory for VAR specific
files. And some apps need to have temporary files.

Subject: [ale] /tmp and /var/tmp
Is there a single reason to have both /tmp and /var/tmp? Every time I set
up a system I always wipe one of them out & replace it with a symlink
pointing at the other one, but it just occurred to me that there might
actually be a reason to have them seperate. Is there?
