Surely the typical person doesn't run savecore or wracct.
I think the situation with /usr/sbin is a bit confused and confusing. Many things in /usr/sbin probably belong in /usr/bin. I think one criterion for deciding whether something belongs in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin should be how much damage someone with the right RBAC profiles might do when executing some admin command in a regular shell, or in a profile shell. Certainly all the *stat(1M) commands belong in /usr/bin. Nico --
