Some examples of commands that are usable to unprivileged users: ip route ifconfig -a lspci lsusb lsmod ldconfig -p mkfs ~/my_disk_image fuser lsof mksock ~/my_socket ntpdate -q -u some_time_server I've always found it annoying when I want to list the computer's IP addresses for example, and I have to prefix the ifconfig command with "/sbin/" or "/usr/sbin/", and remember which of those two it should be. It's particularly odd that I can use /sbin/mkfs to make a disk image without privileges, but /bin/mount won't mount it even if I own both the image and the mount point. The division into bin and sbin seems rater arbitrary and I see no significant advantages with it. Thus I support the plan to move everything to /usr/bin. Björn Persson
