OK, stupid question time (forgive me I'm not anywhere my linux box and been having a
brain fart all day). Isn't the /sbin directory where all "system binary's" go to
live their happy little lives, if so wouldn't these be protected and why would an
ordinary user have access to them, or does each user have an /sbin directory with
copies (or links) back to the files in an administrator/system directory? (see why
I was looking for a hierarchy of the file system earlier 8-)).
