/etc/shutmsg - a suggestion?

Hi all,

the ftpshut command shutdowns the wu-ftpd service (not the process) by
writting in /etc/shutmsg, the question is

If this directory is mounted readonly it will fail, I think is a common
practice to have /etc readonly when an installation is stable (no more
software updates, etc) to avoid hard disk corruption in one of the most
important system directories...

Should this be written to /var/<something>?

any comment will be greatly appreciated,

	Ulisses
