Well, for whatever reason, it worked fine for me even though it didn't work for you. So apparently not all systems need it. Don't ask me to explain why; I'm just telling you it didn't seem to be necessary for me. > glad to know your opinion. but fact remains - you broke entrance > runtime.

I'll agree that /sbin is wrong for internal binaries. And if there was already a /usr/lib/entrance hierarchy for other things, fine. But that's not the case, so /usr/libexec (which is specifically intended for internal executables) is the ideal choice. > in other worlds outside of yours it's even a standard. but of course > as you say above - you don't care about that. :) I didn't say I didn't care about standards. I don't care about Debian policy because that's a packaging issue, not an upstream application issue. But I do care about the FHS, which is why /usr/libexec makes the most sense. :) Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
