Package: libpam-mount Version: 1.32-1 Severity: normal Hi,
/etc is a place for configuration files and not for runtime status informations like cmtab. If you need a place where you can put runtime data without using /var, mount a tmpfs in /lib/libpam-mount and put your file there. This is what init scripts do with /lib/init/rw. But as long as the contents of the file /etc/cmtab changes dynamicly, it is a violation of a must directive of FHS 2.3: |/etc : Host-specific system configuration | |Purpose | |The /etc hierarchy contains configuration files. A "configuration file" is a |local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and |cannot be an executable binary.
