/var/logs in 1.1beta
I just noticed that the system I installed a couple of days ago using
the 1.1beta disks, dated 19-April-1996, includes a directory
/var/logs. The installation was on a new, clean system (all
filesystems reformated), so I'm sure there is nothing left from some
older setup. Unfortunately, I cannot find out if this directory is
created by the base disks or by a later package installation. The log
files in use are the ones in /var/log.
Here is the output I get looking for /var/log and /var/logs:
lukas@queta 502 ~ > dpkg -S /var/log
lpr, syslogd, sysvinit, base: /var/log
lukas@queta 503 ~ > dpkg -S /var/logs
dpkg: /var/logs not found.
lukas@queta 504 ~ > ls /var/logs
