not really, /srv is used for stuff that is accessible outside the machine. websites for example. they are not specific to any user either but they have the distinction that they are not internal to the machine. of course, that raises the question of databases that are shared, but as an admin i am free to configure databases to have them use /srv too, so there is no problem. i'd also put exported nfs home directories in /srv/home for example if those homedirectories are not used by local users. (like on our nfs server, users are not supposed to log into the server so their home directories are distinct not internal to the machine) greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
