Then they have nothing to do in sbin. I'm serious: *please file a bug* !!! :) > It is about providing good defaults for users. > Agreed. Which is why you should file a bug so that such tool which you miss in bin should be moved away from sbin. That doesn't mean we should do it for *all* of the tools. What would be the point, for example, to have these accessible to the user: - depmod/insmod/etc. - swapon/swapoff - agetty - init - etc. The point of having sbin *is* to have things away from the user's path, IMO. If that doesn't fit for some of the tools you use, then, again, please file a bug against the relevant packages. But please, don't make it a general case. That's just wrong. Otherwise, we should do what Russ is proposing: merge sbin completely and put everything in bin. Because what would be the point of sbin then?
