I for one have never been confused.
But you are confused, you are saying that a system binary should be in /usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin and that everyone knows that /usr/bin contains both so be careful not to stumble upon them. You are confused because you must not know the importance of the need for /usr/sbin. But if Cygwin doesn't care to mix and match that then put everything in /usr/bin and get rid of /usr/sbin. That is why I said "Having it both ways is just confusing even if the confusion isn't apparent to you." You've just proven the point. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
