Miles, Srinivas Arella

they are both the same

Casper's re-clarification was:

> /var/run is a system private temporary directory which serves as a
> repository of system state that isn't volatile but also isn't persistent.
>
> /tmp is prone to system administrators cleaning up.

=========================

Original question:


> I'm playing around with Solaris 2.8.    I configured 512MB swap, through
the
> install program.  doing a df indicated that I wound up with 512 in swap,
and
> another 512 in /var/run
>
> I can't find any docs on this, can anyone explain what's going on?
