A queue in /var is suboptimal because it partially defeats the purpose of the deployment model - it leaves per-machine state to be corrupted, backed up, hacked, etc.
How is printing done? How do cron jobs mail when a services home directory may not exist and the shell is nologin? Not trying to poke holes as much as think things out-loud. I wonder if queues should go under /var at all?
Actually, I think I am needing what the deployment model is and what it is for... that would help me get my head around it and what would need to be done. I may have a solution to the conundrum, but it needs a better idea of what is wanted.
