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?
From the ancient scrolls, it appears that /var/adm came from AT&T/SysV
originally, and then Sun added /var/log for the BSD syslog to use.
