[Evergreen-general] localstated

[Jason Stephenson]

Martin,

As for why srfsh can't use /tmp/logs, my first inclination is to blame 
systemd's privatetmp feature:

https://access.redhat.com/blogs/766093/posts/1976243

My second inclination is to blame our (mis)use of autotools.  I 
recommend that you follow the directions in the README and only set the 
prefix and sysconfdir options.  Anything else is likely to break with 
OpenSRF and/or Evergreen.

Also, Jason.
