Fair enough.  No reason for that to change, and in addition I believe it
is already the same for Cougar/Linux.

Eric Barnett mentioned BSD kernel crash dumps going into /var/crash.
That will not be changed as I believe that is the standard place
for that in the BSD operating system.  Linux/Cougar will not have kernel
crash dump files.

Every log file that was in /var/agile will be in heirarchacly (sp?)
moved to /var/log/onstor, so elog will be in /var/log/onstor/messages
