Is /var/cache world writeable ? I thought it was just world readable. If
this were to be done, I would think the opensm directory underneath this
would be more appropriate but I'm not leaning towards doing this since I
think the current approach is more flexible and the topology can be
supplied to all needed commands/scripts.
