  13. In a similar note, can linux be told to put kernal dumps to the swap 
  14. partition? (Basically throwing them away.)  Is there much system accounting
  15. information?  On Ultrix/Sun/HP you can have problems with this information
  16. eating your disk space so you normally run it to its own partion, usually
  17. mounted on /var.  If there is nothing that does this I guess it is 
  18. mostly irrelevant, although now that these are going on the net security
  19. and accounting will be (semi-)necessary headaches.
