You're not seeing /usr/lib being used anywhere else because putting daemons there is a Solaris-ism. I.e., that's not a good excuse. OTOH, not wanting to bother is a good excuse given that the ARC seems to be OK with that in this case :) Is it the case, perhaps, that moving such things around is difficult for tools like Jucr and roboporter? If so, then that would be a bug in those tools. But perhaps we need to give up on some of these Solaris-isms. I personally don't care for putting so much stuff in /usr/sbin -- most things in /usr/sbin wouldn't cause any problems if they were in /usr/bin instead (and some belong in /usr/lib, since they are daemons). I mean, ping(1M), in /usr/sbin ?! That's just silly, plus we now have fping(1M) in /usr/bin, so we're becoming less and less consistent. Right now we're letting these Solaris-isms rot. That strikes me as not a good idea. Nico --
