Thanks for the URL. About the /sbin comment 1: "Bloating of the root filesystem". I don't see that to be problem here. I think it would be better to keep things logically separate and resserver /usr for other things. About comment 3: There is no reason for nologin(8) to be in /sbin, since it isn't needed in single-user mode", this has weight. However nologin is a system utility it would be better kept directly under root directory, if /sbin is not ideal, then it should go to /bin -- to same place as "login".
