I need my app to create some files when run under a non-admin acct that I need to persist across boots/logins. But every permanent location seems to be locked except for things inside the user's folder. I would have thought /Library/Application support would work but no.....

/private/var/tmp is supposed to persist across reboots, although I'm
not sure if there's a Cocoa way of obtaining this path or whether it
has to be hard-coded . . .
