Hi all,

More and more, I'm feeling that the libexecdir that is typically 
changed to /usr/sbin shouldn't be. Most of the programs installed
into /usr/sbin because we pass --libexecdir=/usr/sbin to the 
configure script are not designed to be run from the command line, or
for that matter, not designed to be run by an end user.

Therefore, they don't really belong in /usr/sbin.

To me, these programs belong in /usr/libexec (yikes! this is what
we were trying to avoid in the first place, or /usr/lib/libexec,
or /usr/lib/packagename.

What say the group?

Do programs that are not designed to be run by end users (not even
the root user), but instead are called internally by a library or
other program belong in /usr/sbin?
