So, in talking with Chase, the subject of /var/dt came up, and whether
we can nuke it.
dtlogin writes it's error/output log there (/var/dt/Xerrors). We could
move this to /var/log/dtlogin.
The other use I see is for appmanager. On a first-time session login,
it creates symlinks from /usr/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<LANG/*/* into a
/var/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<$USER>-<host>-<$DISPLAY>/
Then, in CDE, if you select the "Toolbox" icon, a dtfile will open up in
/var/dt/appconfig/appmanager/<$USER>-<host>-<$DISPLAY>/ shwoing all of
the application groups you can enter.
I guess I just don't know why this is done. Could we simply do it in
/run/user/<UID>/dt/... ? Of course, it will disappear on a system boot,
and I have no idea how prevalent tmpfs filesystems like /run are. Could
we do this in the users' own ~/.dt/appmanager/ instead? Maybe that's
even a better idea?
So, I'm just looking for some enlightenment and opinions.
I think this was all designed around the use of globally accessible NFS
home directories being automounted on whatever Xterminal/thin-client you
wanted to use to login. Since hosts you are using may differ... But
still, why is this replicated in /var/dt?
Anyway, any thoughts?
