You could even look in home first and the bin directory containing nsd if it doesn't find one in home - on the off chance existing users have either customized it or have deleted the one in <install-dir>/bin. If you did this it wouldn't break any existing setups.
This seems like a reasonable and desirable enhancement. Recommend submitting a bug/feature request in SourceForge (or even a patch :) )
It turns out that there are lots of places that expect stuff to be relative to the directory you were in when you run nsd, so a simple change like mentioned above isn't really useful.
At some point the community should make some decisisons about how closely an AOLserver release should track expectations in the Linux/Unix world in regard to file locations. It's certainly easy enough to just install in my /home/aolserver directory (which I've always done in the past, it's just been so long that I guess I forgot why!)
