A few applications in the average system will immediately begin to fail as a result of this change. For instance, cron will not run properly as a result of missing cron tabs in the
<filename>/var

<filename>/etc/rc.d/var
</filename>, and syslog and dhcp will encounter problems as well as a result of the read-only filesystem and missing items in the
<filename>/var
</filename> that
<filename>/etc/rc.d/var
</filename> has created. These are only temporary problems though, and are addressed, along with solutions to the execution of other common software packages in
