Something this works. More often it doesn't.
This will break users in two ways: 1. Many user scripts use $HADOOP_HOME/bin/X to find script X. 2. Until those scripts are available in other locations, there is no choice. For users that want to manage the servers manually, having access to the hadoop-daemon.sh is required. Of course, it should be in /usr/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh, but until it is of course the users needs to reference it in $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/hadoop-daemon.sh. -- Owen
