Thanks to the many people who pointed out that it is mounted by the last
line of /etc/init.d/buildmnttab, and the size can be limited there. Several
people also said I could add /var/run to the /etc/vfstab, set the "mount at
boot" to no, and then set the size there the same way that /tmp is limited.
I have a followup question: do you do this on your servers? Since /var/run
does not have world writeable files or directories I suppose it isn't as
necessary as /tmp, but I am curious about how many people limit /var/run
anyway.
