Description 
## 08/08/27 gww ##
In a discussion about read only loopback mounting /etc/security
into local zones it was noted that the files repository password
history database was located there and needed to be writable.  One
step in removing the need for /etc/security to be writable in local
zones would be to relocate that database.  Perhaps to a new
/var/security directory.
