Every UNIX I've used had similar problems where binaries were in sbin for no particularly good reason. Yes, we could file bugs and go to the work of moving things and leaving symlinks behind to not break other things, but that's a lot of work. And it's ongoing work to keep things sorted into the right place. Whereas if we moved everything and left a symlink behind, that's way more work in the short run but then we would be done and no one would have to think about the distinction again. I've never seen a system that really gets this right, where I didn't occasionally want to run stuff in sbin as a regular user, so I'm skeptical that it's possible to do a good job at this. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
