Hello,

Does anyone know what the difference is between /var/adm and /var/log?
filesystem(5) says:

       /var/adm

                  System logging and accounting files.

       /var/log

                  System log files.

But that doesn't say *why* they are separate?  What's the history here?
Would it make sense to combine them (and provide a compat symlink)?
/var/adm threw me off when I first switched to OI.

Thanks,

Jeff.
