The BSDs tend to make stricter assumptions about UNIX conventions. In this case, the expectation is that programs like this would live in /usr/local/libexec, and indeed, that one has suid enabled. Note: I'm not saying you should reorganize everything this way, just explaining why you'd see this on BSDs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
