- gompertz 4y agoBoth /bin and /sbin are generally statically linked. So you're not wrong; but primarily sbin is intended to mean "executed by root" above all else.
- monocasa 4y agoLooking through my /bin and /sbin, none of the files are statically linked.
- gompertz 4y agoHrmm what distro? I haven't looked in sometime, maybe something changed (Slackware here). My understanding was static linkage in boot related folders was to minimize chance of accidentally losing a library/dependency and breaking booting.
- monocasa 4y agoLooked at both Debian and Redhat.
- na85 4y agoHow can one discern whether a file is statically linked?
