	You can control the location by setting up logging appropriately.

	e.g.

	logging {
		channel "mydebug" {
			 file "myfile";
			 severity dynamic;
		};
		category default { default_syslog; mydebug; };
	};

	NOTE: the default location was moved from /usr/tmp for security
	considerations.   Choose a non-globally writable dirrectory.
