What "should be done" does not matter.
Having /usr in a separate partition is an officially supported install
mode on Solaris. Thus giving the advise to include something like
exec /usr/bin/anything
into /.profile is a bad advise.
Why is it "official"? Because that's the standard partitioning scheme
that you get in the installer? IMO, that partition scheme is very
unrealistic and needs to be done away with. I don't complain because
I just happily go in there and do my own anyway.
I never knew that there was an "officially supported" partitioning
scheme. I've never had issues getting support from Sun and/or Veritas
with our unified / and /usr environments.
The partition scheme and exec'ing something from /.profile are two
different things. Don't muddle the two issues. I wouldn't exec
anything from /.profile, either.
