file permissions

[Freddy Freeloader]

Hi All,

I don't know why I've never noticed this before, but on every Debian 
system I have every tool in /sbin all users are given execute 
permissions.  That doesn't mean all the tools will run, or even have all 
aspects of the tools available, but all users still have execute 
permissions there.

Why is this done?  I can't really see a good reason for it.  What am I 
missing?
