Well, it's definitely useful in scenarios where you want to give your
message to two messengers, that are not allowed to know the contents
when they're separate; only when they come together will the plaintext
be available.
Effectively you split the message in two parts, each of which is
on other UNIXs they are not, would not run directly on the

I completely agree to your suggestion and all your points.

always put /sbin in the system-wide path. It has no
consequences for security, and on some systems, even tools such as ping
are there. Having a symlink definitely makes sense for the Hurd, and
shows that /any/ tool may be useful for the user, regardless of his
permission level. It just depends o
fort to adhere to standards, even if that means better
interoperability with non-free software. That's sane policy, IMHO.
Cheers,
Emile.

can't explain it in simple terms,
you don't understand it properly. Thats a shame for a primary author.

or those programs from /lib/ld.so to
/bin/ld.settrans, and make the new settrans take and remove its own
arguments from the argv supplied to the translator. This may be a wild
idea though, but hey.

of modeling the world, you'll never learn a thing that doesn't fit the
model, nor will your model ever advance.
Essentially, that's the same thing you asked that from the Debian group
(albeit not too politely). So, it's only reasonable that you do so as
well.
Cheers,
Emile.
ure that must have been considered before - it's probably not exactly
trivial because of the difference in execution environments... but a lot
of that has been studied for OSKit itself as well as far as I know...?
Cheers,
Emile.
