Why do you suppose it should reside in bin? Inetutils installs it (and other utils as well) in $prefix/libexec. Use --libexecdir=DIR option to direct it some other place. To clarify, daemons are installed in libexec/ and user programs are installed in bin/. > the point is that on *nix it is common to document all entities GNU's not UNIX, and therefore its policies differ from those of UNIX. One of these differences is about how the proper documentation must be organized. Indeed, and we are nice enough to provide man pages since it is easy for us to do so (they are generated from the --help output), and people seem to like them.
