Solaris permission problem(newbie)

[Gerry.Feldman at compaq.com (Jerry Feldman)]

One way is to put the patch cluster on a different file system and use 
symlinks from /var or simply just mount it. Remember that your log files 
are on /var, and unless you rotate them, they can get quite large. 

Another solution is just junk the Sun and get a Compaq Wildfire. 
Compaq's Alpha processors are still the fastest CPUs in the world. 

Remember that /var contains /var/spool
