Ok, this seem to have some support in hier(7), but doesn't this just
prove that hier is pretty busted? To me it looks like thought out
ideas on where to put stuff, mixed with random historical trivia.

Why should inetd live in sbin, but telnetd in libexec? Why is inetd
more likely to be `executed by the super-user' than telnetd?

Please move this thread to a more appropriate list.
