server: Store copy of /var/log/messages into /var/tmp instead
When connecting to an unprivileged account on a client, /var/lib will not be writable. Store the snapshot of /var/log/messages in /var/tmp instead which is far more likely to be writable. v2: - Moved storage location from /tmp to /var/tmp so that it survives over reboot Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> git-svn-id: svn://test.kernel.org/autotest/trunk@5009 592f7852-d20e-0410-864c-8624ca9c26a4
