That's the rule of thumb I see applied to what goes in /srv. In a LAMP box for example I'd expect to see the website(and site logs), database files, and POP3/IMAP spools stored in srv directories. Machine specific data like system logs and email processing spools get stored in /var. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood." --Marie Curie
