My FC5: [lam@pensja ~]$ ls -1 /bin /usr/bin | wc -l 2511 [lam@pensja ~]$ ls -1 /sbin /usr/sbin | wc -l 616 So 2500 commands doesn't confuse anyone and any end-user knows exactly what those commands do? I know I don't with over a decade of Linux experience. Per cent, I know more commands from sbins than from bins. > I do remember times before /sbin and /usr/sbin... the change was done quite > a while back to segregate administration commands from end-user commands. I don't remember such times. While I and everyone else in this thread understand why some commands can be really root-only, most of them work for users anyhow, any user can use them anyhow and they're useful to users anyhow, they're just not in the path. Can you explain to me why there's /bin/traceroute, but /usr/sbin/mtr? This is the one symlink I do every time. Debian has it in /usr/bin IIRC. Ask for other examples and 100 people will step up. The wrong thing IMHO would be having /sbin before /bin in the search path. As someone stated earlier, it can break consolehelper symlinks. Other than that, either let's make a symlinking-fest or add them to the path as many suggest, only after /bin and co. Lam
