If we start symlinking, a symlink from /sbin to /bin seems easier. Once
we start a breach, we'll get more and more requests. For example, I
would see:
- brctl
- ethtool
- ifconfig
- route
- sysctl
Looking at /sbin for those, I also discover there are already a lot of
symlinks. On my system, on 216 files, I have 80 symlinks.
