I was told recently that Debian-based distros don't use /usr/libexec. I tried searching for more information and couldn't find anything helpful.

I'm not sure I completely agree with this advice. At least with respect to /usr/share, /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec, it's usually pretty obvious where things should go, and the consistency really helps. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
