Good question. When starting this thread I did not have in mind these basic programs though. I was thinking about the application programs which are in /usr. But I agree that all system executables which are in the /bin and /sbin directories should be foolproof. On Mon, Jul 03, 2000 at 11:13:22AM +0200, Koos Pol wrote:
Agreed. Does raise the question though, where all the statically linked programs from /sbin have gone. The -s- in /sbin is for "static" for a good reason: A system admin in distress would be very pleased to have his emergency programs be statically linked and available from /sbin. It seems distibutors have been leaving this path since ages. Anyone knows which o.s. holds this old SVR4 adagium? Linux does not, Solaris does a bit, UnixWare not that I know off, AIX not that I know off. Pity...
