Package: ftpwatch
Version: 1.20
Severity: minor


Hi,
i think ftpwatch should be in /usr/bin not /usr/sbin as its not
a system binary. Its for general user consumption as also the
manpage states:

        "Every user who wants to use it should install it
        into his crontab file."

FHS States:

3.14.1 Purpose
        Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only commands)
        are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. /sbin contains
        binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing
        the system in addition to the binaries in /bin.15 Programs executed
        after /usr is known to be mounted (when there are no problems) are
        generally placed into /usr/sbin.  Locally-installed system
        administration programs should be placed into /usr/local/sbin.16

and continues:

4.10 /usr/sbin : Non-essential standard system binaries
4.10.1 Purpose
        This directory contains any non-essential binaries used exclusively by
        the system administrator. System administration programs that are
        required for system repair, system recovery, mounting /usr, or other
        essential functions must be placed in /sbin instead.24

/usr/sbin is root only for system administration which ftpwatch is
IMHO not ...
