Re: directory to store TLE files

[Jeffrey Austen <jausten@tntech.edu>]

Good idea. However since /usr is supposed to contain read-only data how can 
the TLE be updated (except by root)? It seems like /var might be better but 
there is no place under /var that really fits this type of data. The closest 
thing I see is /var/lib but that is not a great match to this type of data.
