This is broken, then. sshd should be in root's path, ergo the Makefile should not assume that it is a libexecdir type of binary. > * findutils: --libexecdir=/usr/lib/findutils so that auxillary > executables are installed in /usr/lib/findutils. This one actually breaks either method. First, some of the binaries are called by locate and belong in /usr/lib. Second, some of the binaries could well be called directly, but are deprecated hence the developers decided to just move them to libexecdir and not actually stop compiling them. FYI, it's --libexecdir=/usr/lib/locate, not /usr/lib/findutils which technically breaks all idea of /usr/lib/packagename. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
