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? -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3923.96] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.1] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.5] [Linux 2.6.12.6 i686] 00:29:39 up 10 days, 9:38, 9 users, load average: 0.97, 0.70, 0.35 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
