Is it ? Root and admins have sbin in their path while normal users don’t, so sbin contains more system exe. they may happen to be also static because they are called early in the boot. At least that’s what I thought
- tyingq 7y agoFor example, /sbin/sh was statically linked on the various flavors of Unix, while /bin/sh was dynamically linked. So, I suppose it's really both. The statically linked shell would allow you to upgrade the shared libc, for example. Which is both "system" and "static" related.
