But it's a lot of packaging work. How much, really? There are maybe a couple of dozen commands in /sbin and /usr/sbin that are useful to non-root users, and many of them come from the same package. Many of them probably don't even need symlinks (who cares that lspci has moved for example). Now, I always just have PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin in the system profile on my systems (so I certainly don't object to doing that by default), but it would be better to do this the "right" way. The packaging guidelines going forward could then have something like: - /sbin: for administration tools only useful for root and needed to boot the system - /usr/sbin: for other administration tools only useful for root -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
