While I agree that the RPM spec file you have in cvs does install
tmda-ofmipd to /usr/bin (the RPM I'm using puts it in /usr/sbin), I disagree
that /usr/bin is the correct location for such a binary.

>From the "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard"
(http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.2.pdf), section 3.14.1:
"Utilites used for system administration (and other root-only commands) are
stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin."

Since the files I supplied you are for running a system-wide install, and,
in this case tmda-ofmipd is a root-only command, I believe it's the proper
place.

However, when it comes down to it, I couldn't care one way or another as
long as my TMDA runs properly :)
