The gmond and gmetad programs certainly belong in /usr/sbin. I think gstat
should stay in /usr/bin.
For gmetric, I don't have a good argument *for* either directory. Why
should it be in /usr/sbin? However, an argument *against* moving it is
that moving gmetric to /usr/sbin will break any script that has /usr/bin/
hard coded. This is probably more common than anyone would like to admit.
Based on that, I'd say leave things where they are.
