The FHS states that /sbin and /usr/sbin are for root-only commands.
If we have programs in those directories that are to be used by
non-root users, I think we've violated the FHS.
The FHS says
"Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only
commands) are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin."
It's open to interpretation whether the "other root-only command"
implies that "utilities used for system administration" are root-only,
too.
Given a unix-like context, one would expect a root-only command, by
definition, to have modes like rwx------ root root filename. But I
still have a problem with not being able to find them in my PATH after
su'ing regardless of where they are.
