Taking a look at the LSB 3.0 beta that was released today, it says: /bin contains commands that may be used by both the system administrator and by users, but which are required when no other filesystems are mounted (e.g. in single user mode). It may also contain commands which are used indirectly by scripts. It goes on to say what is required and chattr and lsattr are not in that list. It also gives a list of optional programs that should be in /bin if they are installed. (ed is now optional!) That says, the list of programs presented is not exhaustive. chattr and lsattr would certainly fall into the general definition of "may be used by both the system administrator and by users, but which are required when no other filesystems are mounted". For example, if you need to change a file like fstab and it has the immutable bit set. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
