No, the proper place would not be /usr/sbin, "helper binary" does not match the FHS criteria for /usr/sbin/ http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.10.html at all. /usr/lib ("internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts") would almost fit perfectly, if the part about shell scripts was missing. I am not proposing moving sendmail to /usr/bin/, though, it has been in this location on Debian system for a long time. cu andreas
